keyboard upgraded

The keyboard on John Smallberries needed to be cleaned. In fact, it was so gunked up with keyboard plaque the left and right Shift keys were jamming. So, I gave it a complete bath. Hmmm. While apart, I could upgrade it...

I put 6 small red LEDs under the keys. Used some of the spare small dome LEDs. Put two in series with a 39 ohm resistor. Repeated two more times. Punched two new holes in the circuit board with the existing status LEDs so to tap into the 5 volt supply from the computer. Fished the wires along the various channels. It took a lot of fiddling to get it reassembled.



It works. It's not terribly bright. It's more atmospheric then anything else...
