Gauging interest: Missile Command cabaret control panel re-screens

Ok, here's the deal.. I am restoring a MC cabaret. I scanned my control panel, then paid a professional graphic artist/coworker to vectorize/redraw it. I have the .AI files, but I'm not willing to just give them away right now, as I paid for them.

My plan is to have my original panel powdercoated locally, send it to Rich, and have him do a one off screen of this. There is only one color and that's silver.

So...If there is interest by others, I see 2 possibilities-

1) See if Troy can do a run of blank panels, then we have Rich screen them. Buy em new. I have not discussed this with Troy, this is just an idea.

2) I have mine done, Rich keeps the screens, then in the future someone could possibly pay for a one off, if Rich was willing to do it.

I'm not trying to make any money off of this, I just want to have a new looking panel for my personal project, but perhaps some others could benefit. Any opinions?
 
There has to be some interest here. They get worn out very easily.

I got lucky; mine is pristine.
 
Mine has rust and lifting at the top edge. After building a brand new cabinet for it, I figured a rescreened panel would be the icing on the cake!
 
I might be interested in a repro CP depending on the final price, I've already got a moldy Asteroids cabaret I'm "cloning" using a wood router and might take the opportunity to repro another for a Missile Command while I'm at it.

Id defiantly be interested in a CP or reproduced artwork If this ever happens! I'm going to scan and get somebody on the Jamma+ forum to tidy it up for printing for now.
 
I don't have a MC cabaret yet, but still hope to someday, so I may be interested depending on the final price and quality.
