No, but in this day of 3D printing, perhaps we can.  If there aren't
already active projects for measuring the extant samples of plastic
parts from older systems and making CAD models of them in some open
(readmable/writable/sliceable using only FOSS) format, there probably
should be.

I've had decent luck making little one-off parts in FreeCAD after taking
notes with a dial caliper and paper.  I could probably volunteer some
time to create models for anything seriously in danger of going extinct.
