Organ Supply Industries (OSI) of Erie, Pennsylvania, should be able to
exactly reproduce any parts you need including complete ranks of pipes
and any other parts you need:  http://www.organsupply.com/  OSI builds
parts for just about everyone in the trade.  Even the big boys buy
from them.

You may also wish to contact the American Theatre Organ Society
http://www.atos.org/ as the members often have left over bits and
pieces for sale.  If you only need a few pieces reproduced there are
many good pipemakers around the world who can match samples.

A number of theatre organ buffs are also making new spare parts for
theatre organs.
