I've also seen this system on several older Knabe grands as well, but some of the clips were broken. Because the fallboards on both the Kimball and the Knabes are extremely light, they tend to drop if not clipped into place. I suspect this is what the current debate over soft-close fallboards is about. BTW, I mentioned servicing to the Kimball woman, (a rural music teacher) and brought up her regulation so that she was experiencing aftertouch for the first time, and you'd have thought I'd just given a glass of water to a person dying of thirst!
