I have gotten spokes and nipples from Buchanans, as well as just nipples. I did get a set of spokes from GenuineNOS, and he might be able to supply just nipples as well.

Jake Fischer has original "A" nipples NOS in boxes of 500

Thanks everyone for your comments.  I now have several choices on how to procede.

Found you one.

Al Beuhner has the "A" nipples seperately and good price.  I've gotten several sets from him.

Keith,

Thanks for the info on nipple sources.  It's funny, I never thought of asking Al. I usually buy what ever part I can from him.  I'll check with him.

I finally decided to buy on ebay an 18' x 1.60 OEM MW1 shouldered, steel radaelli rim for 83 bucks 17 shipping.  then I obtained NOS A spoke nipples, repainted the spokes and asked I friend for 35 bucks to show me how to spoke a wheel.  I very nice job for $155.00 in the end.  the stock, painted spokes on the early cmf bikes are often not rusted.
