Hello Tom  I am sorry I don't know any where in the U S that do these,  I 
can tell you there are two types the first one  has a Gold pin and when you 
remove the nut there is only two parts inside,  the second one has three 
parts inside this is what I call the cheaper version of the two.  Sorry I 
couldn't help you better.
