Help I'm Looking For A Vintage Looking Midi Controller

I really love the vintage looks of old gear, the kind with wood grains and what not, love the look of the old moogs and such and I'd like a midi controller with old style looks. I was thinking about just taking a novation controller and having the casing replaced with some vintage wood look and then I thought maybe there are some nice looking old organs or whatever that have midi outs that might make a good vintage style controller. If you happen to know of any could you please post up a photo/link, and if you have any ideas i'd be glad to hear them.

yeah the korg controller that used to come with the legacy collection is about the only early looking usb controller there is..
if you want some thing that looks 80's you could go with cme.

i wonder what people would suggest for a modern looking controller..
when it comes to looks i prefer stuff that looks like the access virus ti.

How about the Arturia Analog Factory experience keyboard? Pretty retro looking controller.
