Thanks man!

However, it's not absolutely perfect (even though it's the best example I've seen) as it does have two small cracks in the rear foot (which seem to be typical for these machines) So I might have to buy another complete machine just to get a perfect rear foot to complete this machine, as imperfection really bothers me!!!

I also want a zip drive with the appropriate front bezel for the machine, so this is indeed going to be a project!!!

I think that the problem that exists here is that the formulation of the plastics used are prone to shrinkage as they age and they start to crack due to internal stresses, as well as the stresses placed on them by the hex bolts. (I have loosened the hex bolts on the side panels to be finger tight, to avoid future cracks.)


Here are some pics of its internals:
