Hi Dave,
There's the MN3011, which is a multi-tap BBD.  Digikey has 10 in stock.  I don't
know if they ship out of country (I'm assuming they do).  I've always wanted to
try one out, but it's a little pricey - $25.17, and it's rare enough that I fear
I'd like the thing, blow it up, and never find another.

There's an ETI article on an application at:

Others on the list probably have a better idea of something ready built, or an
alternative that may not be as much of a PITA as doing your own BBD circuit. 

Take care,
Scott
