A replacement nib, even at the high end, would likely be under $75. That would be the starting point if you sent the nib in for laser welding, plus shipping to either Mottishaw or Minuskin.
As to whether it will take a Wahl #2, measure the length, measure the shoulder width, measure the diameter of the feed. If they're close, you might get a way with it.
