If I can get the bits out, I can either find a machinist who could make a new one out of metal (Hopefully not too expensive) or get some hard plastic, a mask and a lot of effort and make one myself.
Taking the machine apart isn't that difficult a job. The thing that takes the time is documenting where everything goes, what order it came out, keeping the screws in the right spots, &c. If I didn't plan on putting it back together again, I could have this thing in pieces in 20 minutes.
Now this is where I need help.
I need to get this plastic cam off this main horizontal shaft here. How?
Any advice on how to do this?

Hello! I don't have any advice that I haven't already posted to you on Ravelry, I just wanted to say hi, because I ran across your blog during a completely unrelated Google-hop and recognized your username/blog name :)
Thank you for this post. It saved me a lot of time as my machine has the same fatal flaw.
I'd like to write about it on my blog and I wondered if you mind if I link to your blog. Your post explains the issue better than I ever could.
