[Boatanchors] WTB - HQ-129X Front Panel

I just found an HQ-129X today which is going to need some TLC to put it 
back in service.  One thing that's really awful looking is the front 
panel.  It looks like someone has scraped paint off in several large 
areas.  I don't have any way to re-paint just parts of the front panel, 
so I'm going to have to find a replacement panel.

Does anyone have an HQ-129X front panel they'd part with?  I heard that 
there was someone who used to do reproductions, but he's no longer in 
business.  This isn't going to be a museum or collector piece.  I plan 
to put it on the air once it's cleaned up, re-capped and re-resistored.  
I don't care if the panel has chips or worn spots.  As long as it has 
most of its original paint and isn't bent or full of extra holes, it 
will fill the bill just fine.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!
