Artistry in glass list one at $6.75Ca.  Not sure about shipping.  Possibly too small for your fingers, though?

Kaz on the forum had one 'still in the wrapper' over a year ago.  No idea if it has been used or is still wanted or whatever.  Apart from that - maybe contact your local model engineering club/association/society?

If you're desperate, I have 2, you could borrow one.  Might be an idea anyway, it's good to try something out before you buy, in case you don't get on with it!
PM me your address, and I'll send it.
