[NTLK] eMate Screen Cable cloned?

The screen flex-cable in my eMate has been eaten by the clutch spring
bug (the day after I bought it! :-( ), and I'm working on repairing
it. The Newton himself is disassembled all over my kitchen table, and
I'm planning on trying to repair the cable tonight at work, but I'm
not counting on my ability to do the tricky work, which is where this
message comes from...

I'm looking into finding a PCB fabber who could whip up some "new"
cloned eMate screen flexcables, since there doesn't seem to be a
source of replacements at present. If I were to do this, who on the
list would be interested in purchasing one (at my cost, obviously)?
Alternately, has anyone gotten someone to clone the cable, and do you
have any left for sale?
