I just went to put my battery cylinders in their correct holes only to find my A12 box is slightly different to the one on eBay. The hole on the left is a tad too narrow for either battery cylinder, and there’s no hole for the other. There’s also a strip of wood to give each spare drum its own hole. Perhaps there were two factories making them, or the carpentry work was contracted out to different carpenters. The bubble cylinder Bristol key was there when I bought my A12; I drilled the hole for the index Bristol key myself. DaveP
