Quoted from MrArt2u:These have been reproduced and *are* out there. However, they were poor reproductions. Often needing quite a bit of manipulating with a heat gun and/or dremel to make them work. So I say GO FOR IT! Make a proper reproduction. I could definitely use one (or two.)
I'll let someone else bring up any licensing issues...
Yeah I bought one and it works but needed a LOT of work to make it work correctly. Even then it is just meh.
