I don't know if they're still made.  My local used-camera emporium had a bag
of them when I went looking.  I think I paid about $10US.

Yes, these are a great idea.  I had the X terminal of my M3 replaced with a
PC connector by Reinhold Mueller.  It was done in conjunction with a CLA and
added a few tens of dollars to the cost.  He did a very good job, but then I
never used the darn thing :-/

Same as for #1 above - check a store that deals in a lot of used gear.
