Hi Matt. Try Steinhausenonline.com. I bought a single winder from them about a year ago and it works great. It seems that I paid $99.00 USD at that time and unfortunately that is now $150.00 USD. I am may possibly look for a double winder as I have just ordered a second automatic Omega. I recently looked on ebay and saw many different winders. Although I am not sure if they were new or used. The prices were very good though. Good luck!
