Manufacturer description

This keyboard has been fully disassembled for inspection and repair. Reassembly included the “bolt‑mod” process wherein all of the rivet locations were drilled for steel M2 8mm pan head screws and secured with steel M2 washers and hex nuts to immortalize the entire internal assembly.
