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 believe the original design comprised of tolex straps that snapped shut. These days most restorations seem to use the same style of latches used on the outside of the case.
