Sadly, the T rest base on my favourite old tool just broke. Iti is cast so
repair is unlikely. Still have the 1940's manual, part number is 3404-1 and
they sold it for $1.80 back then. Anyone have an idea on where I could
source
a replacement? or modify something new?

If its cast iron it is probably weldable with stainless 308L wire or Nickle
rod. There are even some who claim good results with 7018 DC rod, but often
brazing is just fine for this type of part. You might want to ask a local
welding shop.
