I'm not sure exactly what pieces fell out of the Corvus keyboard. I did
find an incredibly tiny coil spring that could have been used to load a
pin against a nylon track to mechanically capture the key when pressed.
Never saw the pin itself.
Your comment makes me wonder if the Concept might not also toggle capslock
in software. I could swear it had a mechanical detent, but may be mixing
it up with the Lisa keyboard (last Keytronics unit I had apart on the
bench).

Is there
anyone on the list who may have cannabilized a Sun 4
keyboard and can spare the caps-lock assembly from it?
All the keyboards I know of which could fairly be called "Sun 4" (ie,
the type-4, and any keyboard that shipped with a Sun-4/anything -
actually, every Sun keyboard I've seen, I think) do capslock in
software. Is there a variant I've missed?
