Looking for Flender Cavex Gearbox

We had a driveshaft failure that bent the worm shaft on a Flender Cavex CFW 250 gear reducer ratio 16.67:1. We have ordered a gearbox from Flender but it won't ship until mid-December.

Anyone have an idea where to look for an emergency replacement gearbox maybe on the surplus market?

Alternately we may try straightening the worm shaft but I'm not confident of the results. The bend is mostly in one plane.

thanks
