Yes, I bought 6 off eBay about 8 years ago new in the box for under $10 delivered.  Very nice switch machines.

I used a pair for my Mel Uncouplers.



They lift a Kadee uncoupling magnet up 3/16” to uncouple in my hidden sidings.



They are a fantastic switch machine.

 

Edit:

There are quite a few on eBay today.

Point lever, not point motor. It is a manual throw. Never seen them on e-bay either.

Lambert is long gone.  Top notch quality products if you can find them.
