[Lowfer] Looking for small BalUn, 50 Ohm to 100 Ohm.

I'm working on a dedicated single frequency 660 KHz antenna for my
wife. Receive only. I have the antenna, mount, and matching network
figured out, BUT, the receiver has a 100 Ohm input, and all of my
equipment is 50 Ohm, making it hard to sweep the network, and match up
the antenna for best reception, and I'd like to do better than tune for
maximum noise, if possible.
I've scoured the web on, and off for about three months, and I've only
been finding kiloWatt baluns for $$$ and out of the country.
Seems to me there must be a QRP source state-side.
I've tried rolling my own, and toroids and I don't get along. I could
no doubt learn, but I'd rather not have this project pushed to the back
burner for more years to come, so I'm looking for "plug and play",
either something small, in a box with connectors, or something I can put
in a box with my own.
Any sources for a 50:100 Ohm, or vice-versa balun at reasonable cost
(~$30 delivered, $50 + shipping seems steep for just one sweep) in the US?
Thanks.
Kurt
