The box certainly merits a thread on it's own, with plenty of photos. It looks like some of the hinges are actually where they rolled the ends of the sheetmetal rather than simply adding piano hinges to the appropriate spots. Photos of all sides and back would be mucho appreciated.

I understand, deals have a way of going cold before completion. I will start taking measurements and photos of the Illuminating Apparatus this evening, and make a seperate thread to put them in. We're going into town today. I will go to the hardware store and look for a ruler or two that have marking easiest to read clearly in photos. Most my existing ones are quite worn, and some marks are getting hard to read.
You are absolutely correct about the hinges. There aren't any individual hinges attached, as all hinges are rolled edges of plate. Takes me back to my metal-shop days at highschool! From a painters perspective, the rolled hinge type gives more clearance (when done properly, and these are) between the surfaces, meaning when you move the hinge, you don't scrape paint off the other surface.
