It's beautifully done.
Meanwhile, I have got some more batteries for the digital caliper, and will rummage through all the spare valve cases for a "got at" one. If I can find one with the correct catch and the innards removed, I'll take the catch off so you can use it for a pattern. There is a pressed out ridge on the lid of the tin that the catch rides over - you could file a bit of brass rod and solder that to the door if necessary.
I've also found some bits of Line kit (from a radio rally) including one terminal panel for a Teleprinter Terminal Unit that is the same black plastic with engraved lettering as the charging switchboards were made of.
