I've been wanting to get some reproduction switches for my 8/e, simply because I have a blue panel, but the orange switches. I would love to get a set of the blue paddles.
I would go in on a set if they were injection molded or cast; unless they're some of the higher resolution eboxy based prints. I have thought about just making a silicone mold of an existing switch and attempting to cast some myself, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
