Nice video. We should be archiving these pictures and the video 
somewhere in addition to the email list which is sometimes hard to search.

Your assembly is obviously a little newer than the one on Olivier's 
Fretless but it's very much the same. The big difference is that the 
bottom stop is held in place with a screw from the front rather than the 
two from the back. (And you have an extra little block on a spring - not 
sure of it's function.)

In the interest of making them available in this thread on the assembly, 
I took the liberty of taking two stills from the video - one of the 
front of the plate and one from the side. I've attached them here in the 
interest of adding value to the thread.

You can see some details of what my IMF assembly looks like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH7hYJnoNpM&t=203s <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH7hYJnoNpM&t=203s> .  The usual caveats about no no two Rhodes being identical apply.

We did have one screw back out once - I believe it was where the boom gooseneck attaches. We rotated the the ring until we either found the hole or made a new hole (I forget, it was a long time ago) and screwed it back in.
