Some of you may have followed my thread in the restore section if not here is a link:

This is approximately what I have into the panel in some cases I didn't include my cost for shipping so I may have actually paid more than this:
blank rusty crappy panel -$45
joystick -$45
spinner with new optic board $55 (riptor optic board)
NOS spinner knob $40 (mylstar)
NOS grommet $30 (mylstar)
NOS cpo $100 or so, can't remember what I paid for it actually
joystick shell $55 off of ebay claiming it was 30 years old, looks perfect.
buttons/molex/nuts for cp $20
joystick insert (phoenixarcade) $12
damn, so I guess I'm around $400 into this panel, and about 30 hours. I just got the spinner decal from phoenixarcade (looks awesome) so I am thinking of putting the decal on a difference spinner knob on putting it on this panel and keeping the orange top (that's what I played back in the day was an orange top) for my next panel restore.
$525 shipped
I realize there is probably just about zero market for this, lol, I may ebay it, or after I restore the other panel with all repro parts I will sell that one for less and keep this one.
If nothing else, enjoy my sweet panel!
