I have not seen the metal ones new. But Bus Depot carries the new plastic ones. Here's a tip, get some white paint and a thin paint brush. Just lightly paint the scale's raised numbers. I makes a world of difference, while you are at it you could paint the timing marks as well. You might want to use a different color for the 180 degree off side from the factory mark.
