They are offered on eBay fairly often.

at ElectroStatic Solutions in Kansas City. He rebuilds 57s and 63s using modern diaphragm material.

We know him as inmate kentaja.

I think Kent supplies on a refurb basis, i.e. you ship him your old panel and he supplies a reconditioned one from his stock and then re-builds your old one for a future customer. Maybe he will sell panels without the exchange?
Also, his panels will perform differently (better) than any original/NOS ones as he uses a thinner diaphragm and any original/NOS panels will have aged considerably since manufactured (even if not used). So, mixing up old and refurb'ed might not be recommended.
