Amazon sells them for about the same price:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002HDMPG/qid=1136283104/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_10_1/202-3374447-4278210

You might be able to get one from them.

The Elektor article recommends a much more exensive higher power oven, as it 
will heat up much quicker (important for the required temperature profile) 
but I'll see how I get on with the cheap one.
