Why not get on the two threads for the repro CP (Takeman) and repro CPO (AtariScott)?
I'm not sure you're going to find one much cheaper. They seem to be going for around $300.00 when they show up, and then they generally still need new CPOs.
I was also going to quote ~$250-$300 for the *used* BW populated panel (with avg condition CPO and good sticks). I'm sure I've seen this pricing before (or higher) BUT these hardly ever go on sale.
I do believe, however, it is worth the investment to have a nice panel. BW command good coin. Putting in a nice repro CP with repro CPO with 4" sticks would provide good value to the overall game. YMMV
I do not necessarily approve of the following photo -> (though this was a BW with GRAV added; and not GRAV with BW added)

Yeah, I've seen that one. It doesn't look bad. Like you said though, my problem is that I still need a BW CP for that since it doesn't line up nicely like that on a gravitar panel. In the end I'd like to have a separate panel for each.
Ever consider a GRAV/BW/SD multi setup? An SD panel "might" be easier to find and perhaps adapt?

Best bang for the buck (but difficult to find and over-kill if not doing multivector) ->

I actually have an extra space Duel control panel also lol. I thought about that, but there's just too much going on there. I also haven't looked into how difficult it would be to swap a SD board into my gravitar.
Bill has some good info on SD/GRAV/BW panels and wiring for the CP, making an adapter, etc.

Best bet, IMHO (as I've already stated) - go the repro route with the CP and CPO and don't look back.![]()
I would expect CP to be similar price to the recent build of SD->MH panels.
I.e. $80 punched; $70 blank + shipping ($20? to US).
But won't know till Takeman makes a FS thread.
Did you ask Takeman if he had any blanks left over? Then cut your own holes if you like cutting holes.

I would expect the BW CPO to be inline with what he's quoted or perhaps lower due to the sign-up popularity? YMMV $60+9 shipping (US)
