If it is to scale you can make one yourself pretty easily and fairly
cheaply.
Press-n-Peel Blue (http://www.techniks.com/) lets you print an image on a
laser printer and iron it onto a blank PCB. I would first bring it into
Photoshop to create a clean black and white (only) image. Don't forget to
also "mirror" the image at this time if needed. Etch it with Ferric
Chloride (from Radio Shack), drill with a Dremel using their cheap PCB bits.
A "wash" with Liquid Tin (Allied Electronics) will protect the traces from
corrosion and make it look much better. Use PnP again on the top (non
copper) side for a silkscreen (it will be black). Do this before drilling
otherwise you won't be able to iron the silk-screen image satisfactorily.
Coat with Polyurethane or acrylic when done.
