These are still available through some online vendors.  Bus Depot and
GoWesty have them. for around $5 per bulb.
I recently replaced all of these and the same bulb is also used on both
fan switches.  Even junkyard finds are spotty.  I pulled 5 bulbs from
the boneyard after carefully inspecting the filaments and only 2
worked.
