Hi Amro.
Here is a link to the Science Museum shop:
http://www.sciencemuseumstore.com/mall/departmentpage.cfm/ScienceMuseumStore
Here are the details for the product:
Electronic Locater Device
Keys, glasses, remote controls - they're easy to loose! Simply attach a
finder disk and when the item is lost, just press the button on the
transmitter
base. It will beep when you get within 9 metres. 12.5 x 13.2 x 5.9cm.
Requires 2 AA batteries.
170190
Price £39.99
It was easy to order from there, and mine arived within a couple of days.
Regards,
Tracy.
