I bought a 1972 Fender Rhodes. The Damper Rail Center Pin is missing. I'm going to machine one. Can anyone help me verify the dimensions?

I'm looking for:
Pin diameter
Pin length
The # of the screw
Screw length

Many thanks!

I bought a 1972 Fender Rhodes Stage piano that doesn't have a case top. I'm going to CNC a new top for it but I don't know what type of hardware is used for the little compartment in the top. Is it two hinges and a latch of some kind?

Would anyone be able to post a few pics of the inside of their case top?

Many Thanks!

I bought a 72 Fender Rhodes that was missing the case top. The bottom has a few spots where the wood is smashed in so I took a CNC class and am about ready to build a replacement case.

The bottom is going to be pretty easy since I have the bottom I can model it after, but I'm a bit stuck on the top and can't find good photos to see what I'm up against. The top has what looks like a compartment That I imagine could hold cables and such. Is this a hinged opening or is it held in place in a particular way?

Could anyone out there send me some pics or a short video that would show what this compartment is all about?

Also, Is the inner top covered in tolex or felt? or is it painted plywood?

I know this might be sacrilege but I'm thinking about painting the top. Anyone with experience with this?

Would I be better using something like nitrocellulose lacquer or a polyurethane based paint?

I'm seeing mixed information on which ones would work best in a 1972 Stage piano. Can someone advise and let me know where I might be able to buy a set?
