Duh!! Don't know why I didn't think of doing this sooner, but I guess I've just become accustomed to using Google for anything and finding it...... I called Lance Manufacturing and spoke with Liz (I think?) in the parts department and she knew exactly what I needed, they had them in stock for $24.95 (the whole new assembly - base and all) and they will be shipping it out Monday or Tuesday. I have ordered from Lance parts before and they have always helped me out...... only bugger to the who deal was she estimated the shipping cost to be $15-$20..... seems kind of high but will be worth it in the long run.....
