No, I found them at three different thrift stores in SD county. I've never found anything at the Oceanside swap-meet. It seems that swapmeet is almost exclusively for vendors from Mexico providing south-of-the-border consumer goods, and car parts. Escondido also has a swap meet as well, but it to has never yielded anything good either. Yeah, I know what you mean. I've never found anything at the Oceanside or Escondido swap-meets either. The way Escondido's set up, it's not so much a swap-meet as it is a gray-market outlet catering to local day-laborers with questionable documentation; I'd be surprised to find anything there.
