Well, it might be possible to cannibalize the electronics
and flash tube/reflector out of one of those disposable
35mm flash units. I'm guessing that the capacitor is
quite similar. The capacitor is 330V and packs quite a
punch so be careful to discharge it before you touch any
part of the electronics!
It just depends on what is wrong with the A-11 flash unit.
Think how fun it would be to fix it yourself!
Big camera stores like Samy's in Los Angeles, CA have them
frequently.
