Okay, they got here yesterday, with a bonus item a data card (red), in slot. 
Sadly, the picture wasn't clear enough + I didn't ask, but, the screen is also cast - it isn't cloth.
So, I cannot use this as a cover for an intercom system in my house
Still looks great, but, now I don't need two coms...
Was thinking of dremeling out the cast cloth area and seeing if I could get the real cloth.
Will try and get pics later.

And how about the function light?
If you want that to work, you've got to dremel that out, too, right?
He's got a set up on eBay now, but with all the work you'd have to put in to make them functional, you might as well start from scratch. If you just want them as static props, it's not too bad, though.
Be sure to post pics when/if you do install these. It's something I will absolutly be doing when I buy a house.

Instead of dremeling the screen out could you just drill a dozen holes and cover it with screen material? Would think that the holes would permit your intercom to function.

...which would leave you with a backing to hold the material, but on the other hand, you've got the edge of the material that would be showing as opposed to being able to lay it behind the opening like the original.
You might save yourself a little time doing it like that, but you may lose something in the looks department.
If you gotta do someting, you might as well just do the work and make it right.

I have one of the ones made by that Ebay seller. Solid casting but does look nice, not sure on the dimensions but with the variety of the shapes and sizes on the show...
Here's some caps:
Here's one that sold on Profiles in History but I think it's doubtful as I've not seen one look so crappy, look at the square edges of the speaker.

That data card (in slot) - is it really in a slot? Or, is it just a base made to look like a slot?

Rodd.com has a kit for around $90.
It's "ready for electronics" but doesn't come with any. Supposedly an electronics upgrade is coming.
These are based on the units made for DS9's "Trials anad Tribblations".
Also looks like non-functioning buttons with this version, but I'm guessing the you'd get working buttons with the upgrade.
