Holley 94's... where can they be?

The three deuce setup for my y block has been on hold for over a year now and I am up against a situation that needs some finessing. I installed my center carb on the stock 2bbl intake as what was on there laid down on me. I did this because I use the truck as my daily ride.
This center carb has been rebuilt, rejetted but is missing some key linkage on the choke/acc pump side of the carb, thus rendering the thing unable to be tweaked into proper idle rpms.
I have been waiting for Vintage Speed to send me a base for another carb... since 20 December. I know he's loaded down so I have lost my enthusiasm for dealing with him.
I know of a guy from another board, hotrodjosh, who sells 94's... but sells them dearly. I'm a schoolteacher and can't afford the high dollar stuff.
I'm on ebay on top of all of the reasonable looking carbs....
I live in the middle of a desert... at that, I would think there would be some of these not so rare carbs. Can anyone point me to another source for Holley 94's or 2100's? thanks. himmelberg
