Hi Terri,
 I haven't been able to track down Griffon brass tube for over a year now. They must of stopped production.
Albion Alloys is the only way forward. If you do decide on AA you will need to run a drill bit through the tube before rigging. Just to clean any bits left over from the cut 'n snap.

Good luck with your search!

In the US I get Albion tubing from Sprue Brothers.

Most likely the supplier for both Albion and Griffon is www.precision-tube.com.tw
This manufacturer is located in Taiwan. However the minimum order is far more than you could ever use. It would nice to see someone package this tubing for modelers at a more reasonable price than Albion.

Terri,
    Like Eric I get Albion tubing from Sprue Bros. They have a full selection and great service, also I find their prices pretty reasonable. Last, they ship USPS, so getting hit by the "Border Thugs" isn't likely on a small order such as this.
Cheers,
Lance

Here's a Canadian source for your consideration, but note that their prices, including shipping, are all in USD (and quite expensive IMO if just purchasing a couple of items):
