I'll hazard a guess that they've all been bought up by the vintage standards/format conversion & transfer guys, who would be the only ones actually making money from the format. Some spares kits probably exist with museum/collector guys, but would be pretty hard to come by unless supplied with the machines you're looking at. Next comes the tools and expertise to install and align them to standard test tapes. Oh yeah, test tapes...

Odds would be much better if it was Type C, but where's the fun in that?
