Photo from the Alpina SK24 gallery — Damage to the left case mount. There are just enough threads to attach that bolt and still have it connect to the case

Photo from the Alpina SK24 gallery — JB Welded both the nut and bolt hopefully fixing the case mount problem and prevent it from getting worse. I imagine the only reason those were removable would have been to attach it to a desk which I won't be doing

Photo from the Alpina SK24 gallery — I was also working on the Klein Adler 1, quite a contrast!

When it arrived none of the keys moved, they were completely bound up. Apart from that though it seemed fine. Now with some cleaning it's on its way back to working again!
