Hi all,
I wanted get this well underway before announcing it, but now it's time to let the cat out of the bag (or is that gas out of the battery?). There's still some work to be done, but it is definitely going to happen.
For your consideration: new Omega Race mother board reproduction PCBs. These are exact, drop-in replacements of the same size so they reuse the smaller daughter board and triangular brackets and will mount in the cabinet in the same spot. No design changes were made other than a single extra hole for attaching the negative lead for a remotely-mounted battery pack.
Pricing will vary depending on how many show an interest - the more orders, the lower the cost-per-board - but it looks to be around $150 for the blank board. The good news is there are no super-rare chips or other components needed to build up the board (other than the sort-of rare 561J DACs) and some could be transferred from dead boards. Still working on the bill of materials but worst case would probably be around $250 for all the parts.

So, who's interested?
