I would be in that same camp, assuming one of these would also work in a
2112B ("M Series") machine.

They are readily available, individually, on eBay.  See "HP12531".
There are currently two listed at reasonable prices, plus reasonable shipping.

For reference, this:  http://www.hpmuseum.net/document.php?catfile=236

You probably want the HP 12531D.  Both of the current eBay listings are the "D".

I believe that the HP 12531C is what is visible on http://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=111
