I hope you find one. I don't know what to tell you. I haven't seen one from where I live.

I have a Leslie Model 16 made by CBS Musical Instruments that I believe may be the same as the Vibratone with a non-standard JBL K-120 12" speaker I use my '68 Bassman Head to run it(guitar input)and that works fine especially if I use a delay or reverb.

I too own a '67/'68 Vibratone and I love it. I used to run my Bassman or
Dual Showman thru it and A/B with my Princeton Reverb to balance the
level. However, further investigating turned up an interesting fact. The vibratone when connected to a single combo amp utilizes a x-over network
that keeps all the "bass" frequencies in the amp speaker while sending all the
mid and high frequencies to the vibratone. I assume this was done to keep
from overloading the 10" speaker in the vibratone but the end result is both cabinets are working together.
