Hi Roger~
Just catching up with some posts.
Don't know if your still looking for Pentosin but
Autopart International stocks it in the Boston area.
They have 4 locations in ME: https://www.autopartintl.com/locations.htm
You might also try their parent company Advance Autoparts if one is near
you.
Best,
~Ed
