I didn't realise that these were so rare, are they not available new anymore
then?


They aren't listed on John H.'s site and I haven't been able to track one down new so my guess is that they are no longer available. There is usually one or two WTB ads for them in the local Photographic Trader.

My take on it:
Many people who would have bought the T20 would have been people who'd bought the 2 digit OM bodies and many of them would never have used the flash off camera. Pros would have bought the T32 instead and because that has inbuilt TTL wouldn't have bought these. So I would imagine not many were sold, many were lost like all loose small things are lost.

I remember asking Tom whether he would sell me one of his (he has three I think) when I was getting into off camera flash for macro work. He politely refused. That's when I realised how rare they must be. If Tom won't sell them then they must be good.

I quietly obtained 2 of them from a person selling their entire OM kit. I paid $10 US for the two of them. Get them while you can.
