Have you priced a new lower looper? These things are usually available
as spares. You'll probably have to get it fitted by a repair engineer,
and it'll need retiming.
Otherwise, look for a nice lightly used pre-loved one! You might find a
decent Toyota in need of re-homing. Even new, they are not expensive
and quite sturdy.
