I'll be happy to design a PCB, and have bare PCB prototypes made.
Sourcing parts and purchasing them will be another, larger project!

Here's my design in eagle, the prototype is working fine but there is still room for improvement:

Free for volt-nut useage, of course.

I tried to remove some voodoo that you will be told if using the internet as source, but there are leftovers as I was afraid that they could have something:

There are some extra cuts close to the connectors ("stress relief") which are really unnecessary - after manufacture I became aware of a experiment reported on EEVBlog that strong bending with a vise gave no visible response of a LM399-based PCB on 6.5 digit DVMs.

A few drills around the LTZ itself which are cheaper to produce but might or might not have some benefit - kovar lead and soldering joint are thermally closer to the temperature controlled site, so less risk of _changing_ EMF voltages there.

The opamp at the output causes some tiny little degradation but gives a lot of protection in case of accidents and abuse. This core circuit can be pushed around to make it much more compact, if somebody does it the regained space should be used to add some filtering against EMI.

The resistors are not Vishay but Rhopoint Econistors. My LTZ1000A was sourced from ebay, and no dud.
