Galaga - Side art, control panel overlay, and marquee

Looking to purchase these for the 3rd Galaga I have managed to pick up for very cheap. Seems I'm running into this machine alot. I picked this Galaga up for $75. They said they had no room for it and wanted it out of storage. You can tell it has been played alot. They said only thing wrong was the joystiq was broken. Well I ordered my joystiq for it and it did fix the problem. I decided I want to completely restore it since the side art, control panel, and the marquee are all beat to hell. Anyone have any idea where I can purchase these for a decent price?
 
Sorry for the huge image...

These are the best quality/true to original ones out there that I know of:

Those are the best I have seen too, but they are calling them NOS and it doesn't look like that to me. The fonts are wrong too.

Here is their photo (sorry for the size):

And here is a photo of my original on my galaga:

You can see that the original font is bold, and has blade-like tiny serifs.

If you are ever buying a NOS control panel overlay here is my album of my semi-worn CP for comparison

Thank you all for your help. I'll be making a decision soon on who I'm going to order from.
 
I got mine from phoenix. Very good quality, and I'm happy with it. Plus the sides say Midway which is a plus for me.

I still haven't seen a repo that I like yet. I will either live with mine, or get a used CP with an original overlay that is in better shape.
