Hey ChadTower. I used to live in Plainville. Bacon St, if IIRC. Don't ask me the house number. It was over 40 years ago and I was 10 at the time. 
I have a few skills and a shop full of tools most people don't have access to: lathe, mill, cnc router. I've toyed with the idea of getting a 3D printer, but that will be awhile. And since I don't have a wife to yell at me about what I put in the oven, I've been thinking about trying my hand at some vacuum forming. I've taken some machine shop classes, but my real schooling is electronics, though I haven't worked in it in awhile. I'm pretty much an EM guy.
I'd like nothing better than to make a little beer/racecar money replicating parts, but there would be some limitations. Making a part functional is the easy part. Getting it to look like the original...not so much. Finishes can be tough. While I can probably do some sort of home powder coating scheme, I'd rather not get into plating. The chemicals involved are really nasty and I'm running out of shop room. I guess it depends on how much you want the machine playable, or original/collectible.
Then there's art work and the copyrights involved. While most of these companies are dead and gone, somebody somewhere has the copyrights on the artwork. That could get expensive/messy.
Lastly, I would have to have access to the original part, even if it was the broken one.
If one of you wants to be the guinea pig, PM me a pic of the part you need, preferably with a ruler by it, and we can go from there. Frax, I would like to see that armature switch.
Somebody send me one, and I'll get started right away.
