You're doing great if you're surviving sitting on that!
(For all you kids out there, yes, that's what lots of us unicyclists
had to deal with in the 70s and 80s!)
You can ask around at local bike shops, but they are unlikely to have
anything unless they've been in business a long time and are the kind
who keep old inventory on hand. That would be your cheapest bet, but
not including all the time and gas to go to the shops. Or you could try
calling.
If you can find some other unicyclists in your area, they might have
old saddles they could sell you cheap, or even give you. If you lived
near me I'd say come over and I'd hand you something better than that
as I have lots of old parts.
The Classic saddle from Unicycle.com won't fit your post, you'd have to
get a post also. Same goes for any new saddle that won't suck. You
could buy the savage saddle, but why replace with something similar to
what you've already got?
If you like do-it-yourself, you could try making something yourself,
using wood for a base, some foam and some denim or vinyl fabric for a
cover, but that could be a lot of work to get it right. My
recommendation is the Nimbus Gel, or high-top saddle (either one) and a
post to go with it. You'll just have to measure the post you have,
which is probably 7/8" but you'll need to make sure. New posts come in
metric sizes, which would most likely be 'one of these'
(

Another possibility is to buy another old unicycle, which can always be
found on eBay, but by the time you get it shipped to you you'll
probably end up paying more anyway. Your unicycle is fine, but it's
useless if nobody wants to sit on it. A seat is a great investment, as
it can be a learning cycle forever, even if people move onto better
models later on.
