Also, when the tapes arrive, are there recommendations in case their drive belts are gone? You can 3D-print replacements. Use Innoflex filament, 100% fill-in and the following OpenScad formula : module ring(d1,d2,w) { difference() { cylinder( w, d1/2, d1/2, $fn=230); cylinder(

I would be interested in an inlay - I have an RK11-C, but no indicator panel. Also, if someone (else, presumably) does up a replica of the indicator panel board (perhaps with the option to use LEDs, with some resistor packs that could be bypassed for lamps), I'd be interested in that, too.

Board cost depends on quantity, the more you have made, the lower the per board cost. PCBCart.com charges a "tooling" charge for a new design.  They do look over the designs carefully and reorders don't incur that charge. To get an idea, I had a run of Joerg Hoppe's DEC Flip-Chip Extender
