i have never seen a bobbin head look good that had cracks and breaks like that restored. minor chips and missing color can be repaired but major stuff like yours has just doesn't repair well. i suppose it CAN be done, but i bet you'd pay more for that type of restoration than what you'd pay for a different black face
Tiger in decent shape.

Contact John Brey at the nodder exchange

I would contact Joe Marasco. He does amazing work. Depending on what you paid for this one, you should come out okay. I believe he has a web site.

Another person who does amazing repair work is Chris Callan. It will look like it just came out of the box. If interested in a price comparison, DM me and I can give you his contact info.
