You can get a starter at a car show, you just need to take a few tools and have someone with you to keep the car's owner distracted! LOL
I'm not sure keeping your car 6 volt is more work, I would think the opposite, but I have kept mine 6 volt and not done a 12 volt conversion, so can't say for sure. Others that have done both would have a better idea.

Bendix gear doesn't seem to be engaging and the positive post is broken internally. I might fuddle with it to get it going but would like a longer term fix.
55-6 12v starters looks promising. I'll have to dig around. Anyone in Minnesota willing to loan one out?
The entire wiring needs to be replaced and 12v parts can be found anywhere. A lot more work overall keeping it 6v.
