Rack & Pin focuser shaft - Any condition

I have an old Vixen 80mm refractor but unfortunately the focuser pin has been bent. Unfortunately, obtaining Vixen spare parts for such an old scope is not an option.

Consequently, I am trying to get my hands on any type of old fashioned rack and pin focuser that can be found in old ED80’s etc as I am simply after the actual focuser pin inside that might be able to fit and replace the bent pin in my original Vixen.

A few pictures are included to better illustrate my problem

If you have anything that might fit please send me a PM
I will consider anything right up to buying an entire scope (provided it is cheap enough)
