Okay, it's all together and working fine. Here it is in place at work in all it's hacked glory:
Elsewhere I have pics of the guts before I screwed and taped (yes, taped) it all together. I'll post them and it will reveal what a complete hack that case is!
But, you can see that I chose to go with the 'Euro' mod that Ripster executed on his Shearson Mini-M: I added hammers for the 'extra' keys normally hidden under the Backspace, next to the left and right Shift keys and the wide Enter key. I also chose to use the tall Enter key from a terminal board. The interesting thing about that key being there isn't a peg under the upper part of the key: I left the hammer and spring out of the barrel that sits above the Enter key barrel, but I didn't have to.
So far, so good. I'm having some minor issues adjusting to the smaller Backspace and right Shift keys, but nothing I won't overcome with a little time. I also believe the bolt-modding makes for a quieter keyboard. While this board isn't quiet by any stretch of the imagination, it has a much 'duller' sound than the standard Model M it replaces on my desk.
