Anybody have a spare one of these? (Just kidding, obviously.) Got a wonderful German system Penzel Mueller for pennies, very clean and the pads are white but it's missing this rod that connects the register key to the top ring (and ancillary pad) of the joint. Thrilled to have a German system P-M.

That linkage piece is relatively easy to fabricate having just three pieces and is unsprung - I made one of those for an old Adler "Caradl" clarinet yonks ago.
If you know a repairer with a relatively decent parts bin, it could be made from bits of old scrap clarinet keywork.

As Chris said, not much of a problem to make it.
Also consider that one from the left clarinet wouldn't work as is since the posts are aligned differently. The one on the left is a more efficient design, allowing the linkage arm to have a simpler shape.
