Hi John, While this will definitely be a heavier option, one I know for sure are these Telex models which you can get brand new with a zoom lens. I really like them, they're nice and gentle and they have a frequency option (military projector).

I feel like there's appropriate Eiki models are out there too (though I can't think of the model numbers), but if you can't find any, it's an option.
