propellors wanted cheap!

I'm in search of an economical way to find a decent propellor.  here is
my story:

(please respond to berwin@tufts.edu in a separate email if you respond
to this to the list)

There is a really nice grey two-wing propellor that takes an axle at the
center in the dacta 9701 control lab kit.  the problem is, that kit is
over $200 and I haven't found a decent propellor blade for cheap
anywhere.
Each blade on that prop is about an inch or so long.

I have also seen a black version of this propellor, but i have no idea
where it came from.

The airplane accessory kit from S@H (around $3) had two little black
props with center holes that were too small even for a peg!

The brown three-wing props from such small kits as the pontoon plane or
the new zeppelin accept pegs at the center and not axles, which makes it
a little trickier to turn them from a motor (which is what i want to
do).

It looks as if some of the undersea adventure stuff have decent props,
but those sets are upwards of $50 -- way out of the range i'm willing to
pay.

I don't really want to rely on auctions, either.

The LEGO spare parts phone number is nice for a couple of them, but i'm
thinking mass quantities here, where i can tell people "go buy kit #
XXXX to get this propellor"

any help is greatly appreciated.  please respond in a separate email to
berwin@tufts.edu if you respond to the list.

Ben, I know what kind of propellor you are referring to, but good luck finding one for cheap. I have several, but they are CRUCIAL peices I use on my airships. (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
