Email 'the man' and maybe if he is doing custom shop work he could make you one.

I wanna buy that little package, just to see what this crazy sustainer is all about, not to mention run the accu-tuner through my wolfy comp and maybe fuck around with that acoustic feedback eliminator with my acoustic guitar...

I got one of those Walco Sustainers for $17 from that same Ebay dealer. He has a garage full of basically brand new effects that he got the Walco factory in NJ closed down. It's a trip unsealing the 1974 packaging.
I'd come across one a while ago and it had a really odd sort of backwards-guitar type of thing happening - maybe it was broken or modded? - but the one I got basically is a very noisy treble boost that lacerates genteel speakers and blew a fuse on my Twin! (I'm blaming the Walco anyway.)
Before the damage, it gets a distinctive nasty metallic cutting tone that I love... but I'm a hesitant about using it regularly right now.
