I just read through this thread yesterday. It seems like it is still a few years off from completion, but it's a good possibility that this will happen. It looks like the only thing that isn't being reproed is the PCB. As with anything in this section of the hobby, it's hurry up and wait. A lot of projects get held up or unfinished, but anyway this thing is awesome nonetheless.

That is sweet, I wish I had building skills that!

I didn't read through the thread but unless he's been holding on to everything else he needs except the cabinet (PCB, yoke etc.) he might get stuck and this project will sit for a while.

That's the first pictorial spread I've ever seen that left me craving a cigarette. LOL

He cut all them pieces out of sheet with a mighty big inverted router table, I'm guessing... Most impressive.

Actually... the artwork and plastic are being handled by other guys, and there is a brand new reproduction yoke available.

I know it's a long thread but if you read the comments especially on the last page or two you'll see all the additional parts you asked about being discussed. Like I said about the only that won't be reproed at this point is the PCB. It's cool... I haven't read the thread today, but I'm going back to see if there are any other updates.
