Try searching on www.eBay.de the German site or www.eBay.uk the British site. On the German site search for Grammophonnadeldose, Nadeldose, Nadeldosen or Blechdose...

That is a hard tin to find, I want one too and have only seen a couple for sale... I have bought many items from Germany with good results, the only thing is the language barrier. If you send a message or email, send it in the most simple wording possible... don't use slang or complicated sentences, just short and to the point. Send it in English and then run it through Google translator and copy and paste the results into your message or email. Remember also, that the prices are in euros, which vary from day to day, but typically the price is approx. one third higher than in US dollars...
