Did you try ordering parts from the IFR/Aeroflex factory? I bought some parts from them that were unobtainable elsewhere. The price was ridiculously high and delivery took forever, but it was still worthwhile. There are also various service monitor repair shops that might have parts.
However, I doubt that you'll find a frame floating around. If you can borrow one off another IFR-1200, you use it to make a copy using the lost wax or sand casting processes. Any small foundry that does custom work can clone the part. I've cloned antique auto parts and prototyped antennas, cavities, and filters this way.
I might be able to help as I have an IFR-1500, which looks like it uses the same size frame. However, I'm not thrilled with sending you the frame, but might be able to have it 3D digitized for you to have it duplicated at a machine shop. The catch is that it will probably be quite expensive. Save this as your last resort.
Googling for Spokane foundry...
