Hello,
"Rescuing Recorded Sound from Silence" describes how a bunch of Berkeley
physicists imaged (photographed) the grooves of LPs/78s and "played" them
with a virtual stylus.

Such a system should be able to image your broken pieces and then stitch
the images together for playback.
I don't know if this group would do that for you or if the Smithsonian has
taken delivery of such a system. Worth a look in any case.
Good luck!
