These things are difficult to find undamaged. Usually one of the tabs is broken off and
the glass is frequently missing. It takes some patience. I've seen mint ones sell for a
thousand bucks apiece; but then, I snatched a very clean one off EBay a few months
ago for only $35. Lucky. If needed you can get replacement glass reasonably from
Focal Point. Or you can get an entire new comparable unit mfg by Jensen Optical.

Keep checking ebay. They come up rather frequently. I don't think missing tabs or glass are deal breakers. Both problems are minor and easy to work around. Jensen Optical, on the other hand....
