Broken Wurly whippen

It would have to be a pretty catastrophic failure for it to not be
repairable. I very rarely replace broken action parts any more. CA glue or
epoxy can fix just about anything. It is usually easier to do this than
stock parts, search catalogs, wait for new parts to be shipped or search
through all the boneyard parts. Terry Farrell has posted pictures in the
past showing some pretty amazing repairs he has made to action parts with
epoxy- completely building up areas where material was missing.

Does anyone know if there is a current source for to replace a broken
whippen on a Wurlitzer Spinet?

Schaff says no luck.

Anyone have a spare from a junker?
