Does anyone on this forum have a lead for me to make this happen?

That sounds very reasonable, Frank.

I've been facing similar issues with the CFI-ME. Everyone wants me to spend a lot of money. Who I have found is Chickasha Wings in Chickasha, OK, outside of OK City. Mitch, the owner, seems like the real deal and has a Piper Apache. He will send you an email with all the course material and POH. He gets a DPE three times a month. I suspect that he will evaluate your experience and knock it out in a reasonable amount of time.

As soon as I get back from Florida and his schedule works out, I'm heading to Chickasha, OK.
