The part the holds the compass on my H34 1984 is broken. Is this an unattainable merriman piece or a compass piece?

It may be out of a metal known as unobtainium.
The SBO shop has some merriman parts. Give @Dave Groshong a shout. Perhaps a picture.

If you're talking about the round plastic looking piece that sits above the part where the controls are, you can take it off and repair if with thin layers of fiberglass. I do not think it can be found unless lucky with salvage parts dealers.

I think he means the receptacle piece that holds that control head? I don't know where to source that, but I'll take a look around.
I cut one out of alumimium and used the same screws that held the old plastic one. Sorry I don't have anyu pictures.
Then you can possibly repair it with fiberglass as posted before or do like Don did if he was kind enough to post a picture. I don't believe you can find a new one unless one from Edson can be adapted (which I doubt).
