Try a search for Specialized Products. They use to have them.
You might also might want to look into a copy machine parts supply house. Techs there need them badly. And I think MMM manufactured them a couple of years ago. Ed Fair

I've used a Kenmore canister for years and have NEVER had a problem. Yeah-Yeah...I know all the ESD warnings - etc. etc. - Maybe I'm just lucky? We don't seem to have a huge ESD problem here in the Dallas Texas area , cause of the humidity I would guess.

This is the type we used at work, but it is pricey. It isn't ant-static but I don't think the one you refered to in your link is either. I would wear a wrist strap connected to a good earth ground while using any vacuum cleaner just to be safe. I use a spray duster and blow the dust with one hand and vacuum the dust out of the air with the other and try not to touch anything.
