RF Shield for the A1200 Needed

The retention tabs brittle and it's prone to corrosion, so the whole thing tends to get thrown away the first time one needs to poke around inside the machine. The original purpose of the shield is presumably to satisfy 1980s-era FCC emissions rules preventing stomping over HF, but that boat has *long* sailed and HF is just a wasteground now. (Here in EU-land, we never needed to give a damn about FCC regulations even back then.) It's also not a weird or obscure part, but just a thin sheet of steel that is cut and folded to fit the case. One could just take an existing shield and use it as a template to make a copy, and it's the sort of thing that any hackspace should be able to do easily. I've got two intact sets but they're still in machines, and I'm guessing that your buyer wouldn't make it worth my while to extract and post them.
