You would need to call them but I have worked with Willy at M&R
Communications in the past for finding obsolete parts.  

If you only need one part, then they aren't going to be of much help.
But if you need a couple of trays they might be interested.

You can reach Willy at 512-502-0783

One thing to keep in mind about such searches, many of these companies
talk amongst themselves and there are a few "master" databases (over
simplified but close enough) and the more traffic some of them see
concerning a particular part number, the higher the price will become
when you finally locate the quantity you need.  A good example of this
is submitting a request to hobid.com.  While you may get some low-ball
bids, many times the company doesn't actually have the part in-hand and
will be acting as a broker.  The part price might be "low" but there may
be broker fees tacked on raising it considerably.
