You might search the usual places to find a used one. Their "Bullet" line is the best of the best.

Good story Paul, and while the new Wiltons no doubt are good, I'm sure the one you have is designed to last many lifetimes. My Dad is still with me, but it always feels special to use any tools that he's handed down to me. Lots of childhood memories wrenching in the garage together.
