Was it someone just selling their own slide, or a business where I could order one also? We have a TR180 at the university that would be a lot more useful for us with the D slide. Thanks.

Yes it was a friend of mine (also a repairman and instrument builder) who had a D slide sitting around. Pure luck. And it will certainly make the instrument much more usable.

These can be made but generally not with Holton size tubing. Noah Gladstone at The brassark might have some info on getting one made.
