Picked this chap up during the week. It seems quite sound and smoke able and has a wooden connector instead of the bone. The case is a total road smash and is getting junked once I have stripped the hinges and fittings of it. If someone would repair these cases on a timely basis they could make a fortune out of people like myself. Its a huge hole in the market and a massive opportunity as even in the early 1990's I was paying the equivalent of $275 for case repair work and recovering of the outside, new hinges etc. Anyway here is a picture for you lot to enjoy as I have to go to Best Buy and grab a new Mac as no one seems to know the net work administrator password and such my Mac Pro has just become a lump of scrap that will be joining the pipe case in the garbage!
