Steve, Here you go, 13 pictures of the Chordset. That's about as orthoscopic as I could get them. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/owjnyvozp0t8wsg/AABlwP-q-S1pOM4a9_RVAsXVa?dl=0 Note that even the piano keys are not flat pieces, they are wedges that thicken towards the back. Way more engineering and industrial design that you'd ever think for a research device. Beautiful piece of hardware, deserves to be 3D modelled. Good luck!

We found very few programs that would use it. >> Marc Marc I'd be happy with a few top, side, front, back, bottom photos taken flat-on, and a 3/4-front and 3/4-rear photo. If there is a round flat object of a known size (eg. a coin) placed against each surface before taking the picture, then I can apply some basic photogrammetry techniques and/or affine transformations to get enough information. I usually do this to extract and generate plan/elevation/front views and marking details of WW2 vehicles from photos, have also done for a 360/40 CPU and operators table display (drawings are done but need dimensioning - need someone to confirm measurements someday). So, basically some photos would be fine, if that's ok. No hurry - it's just an idle thought project I've had for a while, I have (too) many other things to work on :) Steve.
