Bikes: 1987 Schwinn World Sport

27" wheelset needed!

I got some nice 27x1.25 cross tires for my 1987 Schwiannt World Sport and subsequently wrecked my wheels riding trails too hard. Broke a couple spokes. I'm in need of some trail ready (double+walled, 36+h, properly built, etc) wheels in this size, as I already have tires and don't want to replace my incompatible calipers to go 700 as of yet. Considering going with a tandem wheelset as they seem more common to find in 27" and would likely hold up to my abuse. I just need something sturdy, I'm already riding a frame with high-tens stays so weight is no concern of mine (I'm an avg 185ish lb build so my weight is no concern either). Any info on where I can find such a thing? If so, what should I expect to pay? Everything I can find seems to be priced way above its value, especially considering this wheel size is obsolete.
