Unfortunately Terry, the days of the dodo, so they say are over.  High
voltage is being phased out of many applications
it was originally used in these days.  Solid state RF modules are replacing
high voltage transmitters and high power tube transmitters, and so forth.
Demand for these good probes is definitely decreasing so I wouldn't be
surprised if TEK completely discontinued these type of hv probes altogether.
