Steve,

Here you go, 13 pictures of the Chordset. That's about as orthoscopic as I 
could get them.

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!

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.
