We've got a 2116C, if I'm remembering my models right. I've got a
feeling we've got one 2115 and two 2116 machines, but I can't remember
the suffix letters on each (I just know that the 2115 isn't an A)

Can you plate it both sides? That'd make it reasonably strong.
Aluminium's supposedly a pain - you can't glue it or solder it, and
welding it is also pretty tricky.

Top panel - hmm.... would need to have a look at how our machine is
constructed, maybe it's possible to get a replica made though.
