John: Yes, it would be restorable as most of the problem is the rear hinge has broke away from the lid. the front lid knobs are missing. I had bought it as I thought the parts were similar to the VI as the book indicated. It is to big for me as I am getting limited in "flat space" around the house. *grin*
