Solartron 7150plus - front panel needed

Hi,

Does anyone have a spare front panel (or just the 3x4 button assembly
and Mylar cable) for a Solartron 7150plus?

I've just tried to install a new set of banana connectors in the front
panel of mine and needed to slightly enlarge the connector holes. Sadly
the drill bit caught and dragged the panel out of the vice, tearing the
thin Mylar flexcable which attached the front panel buttons to the PCB!

Dismantling the keypad seems to be a non-starter - the plastic on this
one is extremely brittle. Trying to do so just caused the white plastic
part to crack :-(

Thanks,

Phil.
