I bought mine at west marine. I gave them the part number from the Schaefer catalog and they ordered them so I could pick them up in store saving the shipping cost, plus West Marine price was lower than Schaefer direct.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried the nearby consignment shops with no luck. I also know that I can buy new slides/blocks from Schaefer et. al. but I was trying to avoid paying $200 for a pair. I was hoping that someone had upgraded to 1" track and kept the old hardware.

Unfortunately, I don't believe they make any cars for 3/4" track.

I have a pair of slides (from a previous boat/ not CD) that don't fit my 1 inch track- perhaps fit your 3/4? Boat is under shrink wrap currently but if you still need them mid May email me and I wil measure them.
