Soda Siphon Wanted (Working)

It must be my age but I thought it would be simple to get hold of a couple of working glass soda siphons, the type 'posh' people always used to use after a day at the office (you'll not I omitted the word 'hard') to splash a little soda into their scotch.
I'm struggling, if anyone can help with a loaner I'd appreciate it. We're rehearsing now for a start on 13th May (it's a Friday would you believe) for a two week run.

Haven't been able to track anything down, I'm afraid. They used to be available at pharmacies?

Unfortunately, they are restricted in most states to minors, partly because of the number of times they have been used to make homemade bombs, and partly because of the incidence of youths inhaling the gas (the nitrous oxide ones, not the CO2 ones). Also, they are not allowed to be transported by air, so the few overseas outlets I found are useless to you.

This US based CO2 site said they had suppliers in Australia, but I'm not sure if it's the right product?

Sorry can't be of more help
