I bought a Bell 640 on eBay a few months ago and of course ran into the 
same problem.  The seller actually did have some probes but they were not for 
the 620/640.  After checking with a local electronics surplus place and with 
my former employer and finding nothing, I started doing an eBay search about 
every 4 or 5 days.  Took about a month but one that I could use did finally 
turn up.  

You didn't say what model your gaussmeters are but it will probably help 
your search if you have the probe listing chart for probes that will work with 
them.  I don't recall where I found it but I have the chart for the 600 
series if that's what you need.
