For the antique radio folks, there is Antique Radio
Supply:

Not only do they carry vintage/NOS parts, but have
actually sought out suitable replacements for things
such as grille cloth, knobs, etc. There are a few
specialty suppliers for vintage arcade machines as
well. I suppose that a small market opportunity might
exist for parts for the more popular mass-produced
vintage machines at some point. Todd Fischer still
sells a few replacement IMSAI parts, though I doubt he
makes much, if any, money off of it.
