Radio Shack dropped the block converters two years ago..

Probably about the only place you'll find one is MGM Electronics. 

MGM Electronics
650 Congress Park Dr.
Centerville, OH 45459-4072
800/543-4330 (order)
513/434-6959 (FAX)
513/434-0031 (office)

They have a $20 minimum order ($25 minimum charge)

Hmm, I can't find it listed in this catalog right here, but I don't know if
this is the current one. I remember it in a flyer I got a couple months ago. I
bought one from them before as well a couple years ago..
