There are several who can probably do it, but is it worth paying much more than it's worth? If it has meaning, and not about the money, yes I think it can be done.
This guy is an expert at repairing dug items. Robert McDaniel, 256-767-6636. I found his number on another post so assume it's a business phone too, and why I posted it here.
