Vestibule Door Sources

We are looking for an 8′ x 34″ interior vestibule door preferably with glass in the top half like most of these old houses have.  When we bought the house it had an ugly broken hollowcore 7′ door with filler in at the top that someone over the years had done.  We tossed that old door and removed the boards that had been used to fill the top gap and now are back to the original configuration which is a 95″ door (top to saddle) and with hinges the door needs to be about 33 1/2″ wide. Luckily when they put in the shorter door and filled in the top they didn’t mess up the old trim, or jambs, and rather than having a glass transom like some, this house actually had an 8′ door there originally which matched the 8′ doors into the parlor. So we are looking for a good source locally to find an old used door that needs refinishing since we also bought a set of the old double exterior doors from a neighbor which need stripping and refinishing as well so we can do them all in a matching finish.  Anyone know of a good place to go used door shopping or does anyone have an old 8′ x 34″ door laying around in the basement you want to get rid of?
