A/C Idle Solenoid 200

In early 240 CIS cars (1975-1978) a Solenoid Air Valve was used to adjust the idle when the air conditioning is engaged. The solenoid was mainly used on B20 and early B21 engines. Over time these solenoid fail and leak causing idle increase and rough idle issues. More importantly than rising the idle when the AC is engaged, is correcting a persistent rough idle issue in my '78 245. I have isolated the problem to the solenoid.

Does anyone know a source for this item? Volvo locally is telling me that they are no longer in stock or manufactured.

Thanks for your help.
