So I must thank @Cavemanthe0ne to selling me this wonderful keyboard.

So here the keyboard straight out of the box form the USA . No damage this time  
A bit grubby, nothing a bit of JIF and a microfibre cloth can’t fix.

So I went into dissemble mode and started pulling a part the keyboard. just 4 screws on the back holding it together.  
I cut the cable and soldered the wires to the Teensy uploaded the HEX file. Link to [Soarer WYSEverter](https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/wyse-converter-t7424.html)  
my cable layout was  
Black -\> D0  
Red -\> VCC  
Green -\> D1  
Yellow -\> GND

I verified that it worked, so next step was to give the keyboard a bit of a clean.  
Popped all the key caps off in to a bucket of warm water and found this around the switches. looks like someone spilled coffee or coke on it, but is fine.

But ended up like this after a but of cleaning with paint brush and cloth

I also individually cleaned each key with some JIF and they came up quite nice and it also removed the marks of the casing.

after this was all done. i decided to hot glue the Teensy to the board and us the existing cable strain (required a bit if careful cutting) to run the USB cable though it
