[Antennas] Lightning Bolt Quad Inquiry

[Bill Brannick]

I have had a LB quad (5 band, 2 element version) up for 14 years now.
Recently during the "Santa Ana" winds, one of the element wires broke
loose from the matching device. I sent one of my sons up there to
re-attach the wire and he found that the material used to house
the 239 connector, and whatever was used as a matching device, was
cracked through and through.

The antenna seems to function normally so we just filed the crack
with a epoxy material in the hope that it would hold up for a while.

Lightning Bolt quad went out of business  last year (or perhaps it was in 2005)

So ... does anyone here know what balun,  or matching transformer ,
or "whatever" can be used to replace the original matching device
included in the original design. Sooner or later I will need to
replace that device and would like to know in advance what options I will have.

Of course, I could feed each element individually, but would rather 
not mess with the wire  lengths and the shape  (front to back) of the antenna

Thank you for any assistance offered.
