I've tried to get individual components for this module and can't find anyone
who supplies them anymore.  Apparently back in the 70s, when yours was
installed, there were quite a few people specializing in supplying small parts.
Once the manufacturer stopped using the modules, these guys found other
niches to fill.  You'll just have to go to the dealer and pay the piper.  Sorry.
