One source for NOS replacements is Mark Oppat... moppat@comcast.net They tend to be spendy.

I've heard of folks fabricating a new tap but that's a difficult task. The other option is to just leave off the tap. Fortunately, in many years of messing with radios I've always been able to scrounge a replacement.

Good luck,
Bill
