Spoke Question

Thanks to the help of the ever-generous Pastor Bob here on the boards, I've now got a working Raleigh wheel set with Westrick rims. I always have thought very highly of these parts, even if they aren't the most modern. Anyway, the rear wheel needs a spoke. Would I be able to get a replacement spoke at a local bike shop? Or are these search items these days? I haven't gone looking for spokes in ages, since I didn't need them for the longest time (string of luck). Would I be able to just get some spokes at a local shop, or are these not around any more? I'd prefer galvanized steel to match what I have, but I will settle for stainless if needed-- just looking for something that fits. Where do you get your spokes for these old 40 hole SA wheels?
