One of our B&B vendors, BullGoose, gets Mergress mods in every so often. I bought two of them the last time around. Our youngest son is using the long handled one. You might send them an email or an PM here and see if they have anymore coming.

Opus Brush, who made the Opgress knobs in Portland, Oregon, looks very quiet on Etsy for the last two years. It looks like you can still make contact through the Etsy vendor channel.
