But seriously though, the paint rubs off using alcohol? unheard of

Very nice with the keycaps mounted, but don't show us more of your hands Mattr567. 
AND you got your WANG in that one picture also.

Received converter today. After loading the firmware, the P77 PCB works great! 
Tomorrow the cutting happens 
Today I did some finishing touches on the case - mainly enlarging the hole where the speaker volume control goes so it fits correctly.

On the bright side, at least he didn't show us pics of him handling his Wang. His long, elegant fingers competently stroking the keys, caressing the modifiers ...seebart wrote: ↑Very nice with the keycaps mounted, but don't show us more of your hands Mattr567.
I've had great luck filling in gouges and gaps with this stuff. Knead it, press it into the problem area, sand it, and paint.

My gaps are already filled with the epoxy.

HUGE UPDATE!!!! 
It works!
Need to fine tune it some more but most of the keys work, some dont. Particularly 0-9 on the alphas. I haven't checked any of my wiring yet, need to clean it up but the first plug in it fired right up! 
Initial cut:
Wiring:
So happy it's just not "dead" and I ruined the PCB or something

Awesome! I ruined two PCBs doing far, far less than you did. So congratulations on that part also!

Guess what guys?! 
Im typing to you on the P77!!!!! Just the guts of it on my desk with no case. Now fully functioning!
The one issue I still have to solve is that Num5 and Num9 team up, I think this might be because of the wiring, ill have to figure this out tomorrow.
But once this is done, and the case is painted, ill pretty much be good! I dont want to stop typing on this thing

Make sure you sand that case with some 4000grit sandpaper to finish, has to be perfect!!!!!!!1
THAT"S AN ORDER

As a mini update I got all the final bugs worked out, everything works as it should. I plugged the speaker in and it is absolutely obnoxious!
Right now have it in the bottom part of the case. Did some cable management. Will be painting the case this weekend. I mapped a base layout, but I think I will be making some changes to it. Particularly the backspace situation.
Im also typing on it right now

Finished product!!!
Some final cable management, all fits in perfectly
For future reference I can put up an album of all the connections you need to make in order to do this mod

Looks great, with that grey it the indy P77 now. I'd never chop mine though even if I had the skills.

Maybe it's the lighting, but that looks like a warmer grey. In any case, it looks really nice!
