I think it is always wise and courteous to include a photo when looking for a part or advise. I have been in the hobby a long time and my memory is not what it used to be. Sometimes I might have a part that someone wants but do not know it because the advertiser does not include a picture and I do not know what the part he is looking for looks like.

They are fairly good quality overall but be advised that the clocks rarely work. You may get lucky and find one that does. They need the correct stem to fit right and they use a socket head bolt instead of the traditional hex head. They will not fit on most stems.

I purchased an original console awhile back. The body was toast. I picked up a replacement repop body off Ebay. It is extreamly nice. Besides that it is not blue I can't tell the difference.
I think the repop console is the way to go if a console was not original to the bike.
I think you might want to try to find and original stem however....like the rotted console, mine came with the bike.
