Occasionally they pop up on eBay, one at a time. Prices are usually in the "hurts really bad"-range. Often a lot more expensive than the DM42, which is equally well suited to be converted to a WP34s as Didier pointed out. And you will have the benefit of getting a "free" DM42 as well which is said to be an excellent calculator on it's own (I don't have one so I can't really tell).

As for converting an HP30b into a WP34s: I will be happy to do the flashing for you for free because I still have the necessary cable somewhere. Unless you live on a different continent which would make shipping and 2 times import and export a lot more expensive than the calculator is worth.
But under no circumstances, for (almost ;-) ) no money in the world, will I undertake the task of cutting out the key labels from a sticky sheet of PVC foil and stick them onto the keys and faceplate. Anyway, ou will have to locate someone who still has or makes those sheets in the first place.
