In Need of PT-23 Tailwheel Assembly!

[jtblassingame]

'Hello, Fairchild Flyers!
                I am a pilot in Fort Worth, TX.  I fly a 1943 Fairchild PT-23 owned by a small private flying museum in Arlington, TX.  Several months ago I had the tailwheel came apart on me on touch down, and the tailwheel assembly was destroyed.  It seems a stress fracture in the strut gave out, and the strut was sheared.  Our mechanics and I are trying desperately to find a replacement tailwheel assembly, but are finding this to be quite difficult to locate.  Unable to find the parts anywhere.  I am now resorting to reaching out to the Fairchild PT communities to know if anyone has any recommended suppliers, sources, or perhaps even a usable tailwheel assembly lying around.
             Anyone have any light to shed on where to find Cornell parts, or ideas on who might have a tailwheel assembly?  Any leads/advice is greatly appreciated!
