[HomeBrew] Looking for Amphenol coil form

I'm looking to refurb an old homebrew grid dip oscillator I  was recently given.  It's in pretty good shape, but of course no coils, well, one up in the 150Mhz range.  I found two of the coil forms in my junkbox, and am looking for four or five others.

It was a popular form from previous articles and handbooks I've seen, but ebay and Google searches did not turn up anything.   The form is an Amphenol 24-5h.  It is an acryllic form, 3/4 inch od and a five pin base.  The part number is on the bottom pin area, embossed in the plastic base.

If anyone has one or some and would like to part with them, contact me off list.  This is just one of those nice to work on projects, so it would be fun to find the parts.  I could look at replacing everything, but starting with what it has would make things easier.

Might not have much luck, but thought I'd ask around here first in case there are some in the bottom of a box like I had, waiting to be put to use.

Thanks, and Happy New Year to all!

Dennis, NU8S
