Try taking it to The WheelHouse. If they can't help you, then they might be able to point you in the right direction.

If you're near the S.Y. Valley, Dr. J's Bike Shop is the place in Solvang.

Corey & Sam know old bikes really well.

I wrote directly to Schwinn when I was restoring my Dad's late 1930s, early 1940s bicycle. They were pleasant and helpful. That was 2 decades ago though, so YMMV.

Hazards Cyclery on Anacapa, they were a Schwinn dealer back in the 40's and probably have the most knowlegble Schwinn Expert in the area. His name is Sergio.

Open Air is the only place in town with Schwinns now.

Call my friend Marco. He's been professionally fixing bikes forever and he'll come to wherever you’re at to fix any bikes for cheap and he'll do it right. call him at 805-225-4705

Jim at BikeSmith's at 5441 Carp Ave in Carp (805) 684-3150. Yes, it's a drive, but if you want old-school Schwinn knowledge, he's the guy.
