Douglas Electronics used to stock these as Miscellaneous items alongside their DEC compatible PCBs.

However I don't see them listed anymore; nor am I able to find them using the search function .
Possibly they simply sold out of their existing stock, and that was that.

You could inquire on the off chance that they just aren't listing any remainders.
