That is a thing of beauty.
The keys on the left of the middle look a bit wobbly, though.

Fantastic job. Wish I'd had the time and skill to have done mine, saving myself a few hundred quid !

Re: Obx-A restoration
I built an OBxa from spare parts last year from parts that I had in the workshop and garage. It was a big job, every board needed repairs, and the whole thing had to be calibrated together as all of the boards were from different machines, but it is perfect now. I found another shell on the garage, and I have a keyboard action and enough spare board to build another, but I don't know if I could be bothered going through all that again....
