Congrats on the find!

As for the leg sockets I wonder if the better route might actually be asking your welder buddy if he could make a replacement socket.  Easiest method might to be finding a similar steel pipe and just chopping it to length.  Cutting a piece of steel and trying to bend it round could be a little troublesome unless they have the right tools available.  Then they could just weld the replacement socket it to the replacement patch of steel. 

Good luck!

So work is ongoing!  I got it back from the welder who not only redid the one leg socket, but all three.  On two of them he used the original sockets, but he also removed the broken and plastered in thumbscrews.  Then he tapped new holes for thumbscrews.  Today, I cleaned and polished the bowl vents, drilling a small hole in their centers and reattached them using stainless steel hardware.
