If you don't need a stock looking one, talk to "tubman" on this forum.
His will last forever.

If not concerned about appearance, you can modify a Model A condenser to fit into the casting hole and add a short pigtail wire with a screw to the condenser and the other end to the point where the B condenser would normally mount.

I have dozens of old Model B-condensers made by Ford, Niehoff, Echlin, etc. and none of them test out to be functional or at least trustworthy. The old stuff degrades over time.

Just a couple of photos to illustrate the comment from ursus. I always start with the best condenser available from Bratton's for the Model A.
