Thank you all..
I’m actually trying to find old ones.. it sounds funny but, I like the yellowish look they have.. just to match the ones I have already..
last resort, new ones..

If you can't find a set of original ones, it's easy to "age" new white plastic, there are plenty of recipes if you Google

Not fantastic, I am afraid, this is what I have, repros, certainly, and probably too new for you.... sorry. That is what I have left, 8pcs.

Just unwrapped 2 pcs for the picture, I have 8pcs.

I can send them to you, I am not asking anything, it is Member to Member aid, you may just be kind enough to return shipping costs if they are somewhat significant.

Let me know.
