When I rebuilt my player several years ago I got shellac from
Woodworkers Supply Co., http://woodworker.com/  Looking on their
web site, there is

  848-824  Buttonlac pure flake   $15.19
  848-838  Orange shellac         $18.49

and a few others.  This shellac worked very well, I had no problems
with it.

Do a search for <shellac> on their web site.  At the bottom of the
page you'll find J. E. Moser's premium grade shellacs.  You can order
on-line so you should have no problem getting shellac delivered to
Queens.
