You MUST keep an eye on that auction site Ickmann. I put the major parts of a Sct Reg scope first draw including the ocular lens, and eyepiece assembly and it went for peanuts. But to be honest, you could EASILY hand make the shutter from brass. The filter housing could be turned from brass and soft soldered in place with the glass sundim filter sandwiched between. Just my thoughts

Would give it a shot, but am at a loss as far as resources for working drawings-dimensions. Is there a reference text or tech manual out there for these telescopes?

You borrow a working example and the next bit is called back-engineering. Usually two words that an engineer hates but this should be a relatively simple job. I always say that the best people for these jobs are retired mechancal engineers who do modelmaking in their retirement. Just treat yourself to a few hours at a local model engineers show to see....., no...., to stare in wonderment at their work!
