Cracked Bridges

OK Everybody
Here's something to mull over -- the bass bridge on a W W Kimball studio
circa 1938 has a large crack running diagonally across it as well as
having a number of bridgepins blown out so there is no sidebearing at
the treble end of the bridge.  The diagonal crack is a single crack
(instead of multiple cracks) about 1/8" wide and close to an inch deep.
Does anybody have any good, cost-effective ideas about how to repair
this short of replacing the entire bridge?  Please keep in mind that
this piano is of great sentimental value to the customer.
