Interesting suggestion. I'll keep it in mind. The good news is I
managed to (at least temporarily) fix most of the broken fingers -- I
found the broken off pieces of two of them stuck inside the mechanism
while cleaning it out, and they superglued back on very nicely. There
isn't a lot of force applied to these fingers, so hopefully they'll hold.
The bad news is that even with the mechanism fixed, the machine still
exhibits the same problem. I'm wondering if it's the delay line memory
-- it appears to have taken a beating at some point (the enclosure got
dented in somehow). I'm not really sure how to test it :). Need to dig
up a service manual.
Thanks for all the repair suggestions!

a 3D printer?
I would suspect yes. Check out Ponoko - they've got some great pricing on
this kind of thing. http://www.ponoko.com/
