The rivets are so worn they've busted off the two hinged connections. The three latches and one keyed latch aren't much better off. I'm hoping to find something the same size, or even blanks that I can drill to fit the current holes.
The case is a hard-formed plastic lined in felt - so, nothing special - but replacing it would be almost the cost of the instrument and I can't possibly justify that, financially.
Pictures, I hope:
You can remove the rust with steelwool or by removing them and place them in oxalic acid, which attacks rust but not chrome or steel and then just pop rivet them back on.
