I found the OP-80A manual on line in about 10 seconds of searching.  It includes both the schematics and one side of the circuit board in faint grey under the  parts layout given as an aid in assembling the kit.  With that much information, it ought to be nearly trivial to reconstruct the other side of the board.  I don't know Gerber, but I was able to figure out a number of the traces on side 2 of the board from what was shown of side 1.

On the other hand, I think I have several 1960's or early 1970's vintage readers in my junk pile.  If I recall correctly, one of them is a photoelectric reader with an adjustable tape guide for all 3 widths of tape that have been in use.  Free to anyone who wants it.
