TITLE: Publishing an elementary proof of a less-general and less-useful version of a classic result?
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: Background
Let $X_t$ be a stochastic process on the state space {Working, Broken}. Let $U$ be the cumulative sojourn Working during an interval $[0,\tau]$ (the process's uptime).  It is well-known [1] that if the process has a finite mean time to failure (MTTF) and mean time to repair (MTTR), then $$
\begin{align*}
  P\left\{ X_t = \text{Working}\ | \ X_s = \text{Working} \right\} &= p + (1-p) \cdot z(t;s) \\
  P\left\{ X_t = \text{Broken}\ | \ X_s = \text{Broken} \right\} &= 1-p + p \cdot z(t;s)
\end{align*}
$$
for some function $z$, where $p = \frac{\text{MTTF}}{\text{MTTF}+\text{MTTR}}$.  
Now further suppose that the times to failure have finite variance, and so too for the times to repair.  Then in a classic result [2], Takács showed $U$ is asymptotically normal as $ \tau \rightarrow \infty $, and calculated the distribution's mean $\mu_U$ and variance $\sigma^2_U$.
My situation
I can prove that $U$ is asymptotically normal and calculate $\mu_U$ and $\sigma^2_U$, but with two caveats:

I need to make an assumption about $z$.  Thus my result is less general than Takács's.
Calculating $\sigma^2_U$ requires calculating $\lim_{\tau\rightarrow\infty} \int_{0}^{\tau} z(t; 0) \ dt$.  Thus my result is less useful than Takács's, as solving $z$ for arbitrary processes is an open question.

However, the result is (perhaps?) of interest as an elementary application of Billingsley's central limit theorem for dependent variables under strong mixing [3, Theorem 27.4].  (And yes: What happened is that I learned about Billingsley's result through Wikipedia when first reviewing literature, found a proof, and then I found Takács result.  There must be Murphy's Law variant for this.)
If Prof Billingsley was still alive, I'd probably write to him and offer the result as a homework exercise for a new edition of his book.  However, failing that option ... 
My question
... what journal might be good for my result?
(I know I can self-publish to arXiv or equivalent with my employer.  I am interested in alternatives.)
Many thanks.
