Over the years, I've had to track down some pretty oddball parts, and I
don't think there's ever a case of ONLY ONE vendor who will have what you
need.  You may have to search for a LOOOOONG time, but enough effort will
usually produce results.

As far as a list of vendors, I'm also in the Imperial Mailing List, and the
web pages for that club has an extensive listing of vendors, including
feedback from club members, at
http://www.imperialclub.com/TipsAndResources/PartsSources/index.htm.  None
of those vendors are Imperial-only, and many would likely have parts useful
to members of this list.

Hope this helps!

Elijah
