Some very positive news! A gentleman on the EH Scott forum has used Badger Metal Finishing for many years and had a lot of contacts there. He has been working behind the scenes to encourage them to find my parts. I got an email from the company that they did find my parts and they are complete! They are going to send me a photo (I requested it to make sure everything is there and indeed complete) before I send payment.
It seems they had a fire and the city forced them to vacate, probably due to the nature of the chemicals in the building. They are trying to regroup by finding a new location. It is their intention to begin production again as soon as possible. Hopefully I can get this wrapped up in the next couple of weeks!
As a backup plan, I did purchase a stripped PS chassis for a Philly. It's not quite the correct one but certainly usable as a worst case scenario. I'd have to make a couple of modifications. It includes the two chokes so I'd have the chrome covers for my chokes, but the PT was changed so I would not have the covers for my PT.
