Sources of Case Parts

Years ago, I recall a company known then as MAFCO which made
available a small array of grand case parts including music racks,
legs, lyra, etc., some in non-standard form such as Louis XV.

Can anyone suggest current sources of such products?   They need not
ncessarily be "new", for I've heard there are a few sources out there
of original parts that might be suitable.

I have a 6' Krakauer Welte grand, with no legs.    The case appears
to be gorgeous mottled African mahogany thoughout, perhaps similar to
the Chickering Ampico grand illustrated on page 243 of Jack
Nethercutt's "San Sylmar" book.    I believe this piano has great
potential, well worth an additional effort to turn it into a thing
of beauty.

Suggestions will be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Terry
