I keep a query constantly posted at eBay for Olympus BHMJ focus blocks.
It just now notified me about item 322075891766, multiple units available, offered Buy It Now at $200 each.
The auction says "Seller does not offer returns", but seller also has a long history and good reputation. I'd recommend to write first for confirmation that the unit works smoothly over its whole range, to improve your odds of coverage by the eBay guarantee in the unlikely event that something goes wrong.

A nice price on something that is often difficult to find.
Astute point to check that brass tightening collar is there. But if it's missing, and one doesn't object to a bit of fabrication, this is a pretty easy part to make or have made. My fabricator, Don Wilson, made me one for a trifling amount of money. Importantly, he did have a specimen of this part from another of my BHMJ blocks to copy from. It's just a brass strip, bent to a certain radius, with an attachment hole drilled and tapped. The attachment screw is something standard from the hardware store.
