Bob's info is correct but I don't think he's made them for a while, John.
My pal Joe/WA2PJP has been trying to locate a clean 129X to go with the
matching transmitter and modulator, but panels always seem to be the issue.
I know he would pay well for one.

Ron made reproductions for many years starting back in the 90s, IIRC. I
suspect he reached a point where enough people had bought them that they
just weren't moving anymore. It's tough to judge where to draw the line to
insure you don't end up stuck with 3/4ths of a batch and no buyers. And the
BA market has definitely been on the downside of the wave for a while.
