Wiring Diagram

I have Daisy Chained all the ground terminals together by soldering links in between each micro switch. For the positive input signals I have used orange wire too the allocated position on the KeyWiz. I have rotated the buttons accordingly as to direct the micro switches in a fashion to keep the wiring neat & tidy. The extra orange wire will be used for a start button If I choose that path in the future.

KeyWiz Mount ASCII K/Board Lead Entry

I Mounted the KeyWiz as shown in image with two of the spacing screws provided. Then I gently filed out a slot to allow the ASCII Keyboard input lead to sit flush with the base. I used a round file and matched the diameter of the cord.

Dummy Assembly

There we have it, pre-assembled & everything seems to fit OK, now I'm going to Google what type glue to secure polycarbonate to MDF.

Outer Face Plate

After Googling several sites, and browsing through many forum posts, I came across a comment how someone was using there router on low speed to make clean cuts through polycarbonate without splintering or cracking the material.

Dimensions as per diagram earlier match the Inner Faceplate; ideally I should have cut and drilled both Face plates @ the same time, but I took the hard path although I still managed to get them to match.

Second Coat

Second Coat applied, and I'm happy with the finish, the texture is still quiet rough so I might consider wet rubbing it back slightly.

First Coat

Twas a cold evening ahead, with the help of my little electric IXL Heater I warmed the room temperature to above 10 degrees as per Cabot's advice. First Coat of Varnish great success.

Surface Preparation

The Hardwood Side Panels had to be sanded smooth. If your material choice is hardwood take caution when sanding flat towards the edge as the corners tend to fray easily.

A very fine grit was used to achieve a smooth surface. Any Dried up PVA solution was removed as too not create discrepancy in the varnish end finish.
