Flying Pig has taken on the challenge of reproducing Ross stocks but possibly has encountered this. Nothing like spending 10 hours and then having a chunk of wood blow out and have to start over again.
Im actually looking into a cnc router with a manually indexed 4th axis. So much open source stuff out there, its not overly expensive. Digitizing a stock is the more difficult problem

Like you said... a lot of people want them at 1990 prices.... not gonna happen.
Due to the 100 dollar export limit, you would never get it out of the states unfortunately.
