Yeah, they died along with the hippy movement 8->

You could look in EfstonScience (Edmund Scientific in Canada). They have
all sorts of wierd psychadelic stuff, but are rather pricey. They are
located on Dufferin St., just across from Yorkdale. I can't find exactly
what you want in their catalogue, but they do have items not listed. Best
to call first: 787-4581  (Fax 787-5140). The other place you could try is
the science shop underground at Yonge & Bloor - sorry, I can't recall the
name of the store.

Good luck.
