Just because Canada is sparsely populated, doesn't mean that there are no good machinists here that are capable of dealing with such a thing.
Brian Nix is in Ontario.
I don't what he has for a machine shop and repair, it's a place to start.

Bob Nix. And according to the latest issue of The Antique Phonograph, he sadly has passed away.
The web site is still there, so I thought there must be someone running the show.

Thank you all very much for the help. On an unrelated note, I'm listing all the parts that are missing and I am trying to determine wether the back bracket is missing a support ring? I see some pictures online with it and some without it. Is it normal for some brackets to not have it?
