My general experience has been that if you can't get something on
eBay or
Amazon, then you can't get it.
OTOH, if it is important that it actually works it may be better to get
it from a reputable seller like RS, Farnell, possibly Cricklewood,
though fifty years ago they did seem to use cheap sources, or one of the
American firms like Digikey or Mouser.
I find that Jab Dog via E-Bay is good...
