I imagine Canon would charge an arm and a leg. Try places like EBay. There might be one there (or at least a whole camera).

Even if you could find the parts you're looking for, the labor charge would exceed the camera's value. Unless you have a deep emotional attachment to this camera, you should throw it out and buy a new one. You can buy a good AE-1 body on ebay for $75-100.
