1983 Martin Warthog "B" for Broken Heart

Just got through tearing down and refinishing my Dad's first new bow, a 1983 Martin Warthog "B". He had spray painted it when he was young and it looks great completely refinished with all the natural wood shining through. Took it to the oldest/best shop in town to get new cables crimped/installed. One cable slipped through a crimp sleeve and the teardrop cracked a limb. Need a new limb now. Any body got an idea where I can find one? Anyone got an old bow they're ready to part out?

Thanks WindWalker, will be checking ebay and craigslist daily. It's just tearing me up man. I worked my tail off on that thing to give it back to him at Christmas, fixed up. It looks good too. I was ready to shoot it.

Of course you will need a pair of limbs as they are matched from the factory. I do have a LH "B" Warthog that looks like brand new.It is a 50-65#, 28-30" draw and 50% let off. This bow is like new, I can't find any marks on it at all. $175 to your door. You could change risers and make it RH with your riser if need be.
