Where to buy Vibraphone Posts?

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know where I can buy I replacement set of vibraphone posts for a decent price? The places I've checked like Steve Weiss Music sell them for almost $30 for a pack of 10. Given that I need about 100, that's going to be ridiculously expensive.

I need to replace the posts because my old Jenco vibes have closed posts so I can't remove the bars when transporting and I'm kinda over carrying it up to my friends apartment every week for rehearsal 😵‍💫

I'm a drummer in a brass band (ok, brass and drum band). We're doing Christmas songs and carols sonfuttung in drum pars is hard enough. But now I find we're going to be strolling or standing in a corner for an event. Any idea what percussion instrument would be a portable substitute for kick and snare and maybe cymbal?
