Singer 17-23 face plate

[OldGoalie]

I am looking for a complete face plate for a late model Singer 17-23.

 

 Thanks!

No luck so far finding a used face plate. I know the Seiko 6 and 6B were copied from the Singer 17. Does anyone know if the Seiko parts are a direct replacement or at least if the faceplates are the same? 
 

My 17 is a very late production model, 1950 build date. 
 

Thanks, Tim the Old Goalie

Tim,I know you called & I misplaced your ph# but I did price one out from Seiko & it's $350.00 (ouch)

not sure how the casting on the later class 17 is shaped but the old 17 shares the face plate with the Singer 16 which sometimes can be found cheap.
