Finally, something to add...
I've been waiting nearly five years for this light plate to surface, and one of my regular 727 suppliers came through for me. This is one of the rarest of the rare.
Not sure why it was pulled as "Repairable" as it's intact with good finish and all of the bulbs burn bright and even.
It's almost exactly the same size as my scratchbuilt panel with even the cut-outs lining up pretty well. It should be a 'no-hassle' retro-fit.
This probably doesn't excite too many, but for me it's a major find for my 727 overhead. Especially one in this condition. :):):)
