Broken Wurly whippen

[Farrell]

Thanks Dean. If I can help with some suggestions, I would be happy to do so. Some pictures would be a good start.

  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?
