Studiologic/FATAR make a waterfall-key version of their SL-161 MIDI keyboard. This has 9 programmable sliders which can be configred to work as drawbars, and it comes with presets for several well-known software clonewheels. The price is probably around US$600.

Doepfer make a standalone dual drawbar unit as part of their modular organ range, but it costs as much as the Studiologic keyboard.

That's all that I can think of at the moment.

A home-made MIDI drawbar unit would be a worthwhile (and feasible) project apart from the apparent total unavailability of actual drawbars! I spoke to Herr Doepfer last year and he told me that the source of his own company's drawbars was a trade secret...

Subject: [CWSG] midi drawbar

Hey everyone. For a year or so I've been watching various sites for a
reasonably priced Voce midi drawbar unit to build a controller for my
nord electro/stage. I've had no luck. The last one I was watching went
for sonwhere around $400. My immediate thought was that I could own a
V5 for $250 more.

I really wish that someone built a single manual with a set of
drawbars. There is a huge market for use with other clones as a second
manual or with software as a controller.

Anyway, does anyone know where I can find a reasonably priced midi
drawbar or, stunn me ... a reasonably priced conroller with drawbars?
Does it exhist?
