Lucky you! :)
Do you have experience in removing the steel back plate from the
keyboard and later add it back with screws fixing the whole thing
instead of the rivets, which needs to be removed for this?

It is very very sad, that these wonderful keyboards are nor longer
built with the same quality and feel of use. They are so great!

There are some things in technology (ad not only there) that were
done right just with the first attempt. Sweet spots in time they are.
