It is not like you will be able to buy something vintage like that off the shelf retail. You can search on ebay. I see a pair went just last month for a few dollars. Otherwise you can check out parts-express.com.

Here are some pics from the ebay sale: http://www.use.com/a44f9ef74294df4dbda9?p=9#photo=9

The specifications on the back should help give guidance on a replacement from Parts Express. It won't be an exact match, but such is the way vintage goes.
