Default Source for old-style freewheels

Anyone know of a good source for quality 6-speed freewheels and other vintage stuff? I have an old foul weather beater-bike with one that is giving up the ghost with probably about 25kmiles+ on it . I've seen some cheap ones on-line but they look like someone in a small China town cut them out with a plasma torch or something. Would really love to find something like surplus Shimano 600ex or such.
