Mike,

TRF lists them in their catalog for just over $100. It's a repro model
(their last catalog had Triplex original type --- which I bought, but
haven't gotten close to installing). I'm shocked by the $360 price ---- I'd
heard awhile back from others on the list that finding generic glass for
about $100 is fairly easy to do locally.
