Rodney,
The case is pretty neat. The bottom is basically 4 solid pieces, the ends and sides, and a plywood bottom. Then the internal parts.
All of this held together with wooden pegs and glue. The plywood bottom piece is held in with tiny nails and glue.

Basically on this one the glue just gave it up. I've got it apart, got a piece of 3/16", I think, dowel for the new pegs and as soon as we get done with some errands, ( cats to the vet ) I'm gonna glue it back together.
The top isn't really anything out of the ordinary, except the key for the latch is about 4" long. Weird, never seen one like it before. No pic of that part yet.
I've got to find a service manual or an owners manual for the 101s though, I need to figure how to service the motor, gears and moving bits.
