I received a number of responses, the majority of which suggested Ebay and
identified the part I was looking for as either a spud bracket (Sun PN
540-3024) or a jiffy bracket (Sun PN 540-2767).  I need to use a PO, so
Ebay and other one-off / auction sales are generally out.  Of the
remaining responses, I received suggestions for:

  http://www.dmgi.net/
  http://www.memoryx.net/
  http://www.silicon-gear.com/
  Chuck Carlson (carlosc@ccny.com)
  Chris Buesgens (cbuesgens@prismsoft.com)

and one response suggesting that no summary was needed.  I'm not sure if
Chuck Carlson can take a PO; Chris Buesgens definitely can.  Prices range
between a low of $15 and a high of $46.

Thanks.
