Thanks for the comments guys! I'm currently at a stand-still because I'm a little overloaded with school work, and in the process of getting a smaller tip for my soldering iron. I'll update with results when I'm finished. And just to clarify again-
No, I didn't just scrap a TI-83, it was already broken!
From what I can tell (having taken apart 3) TI-83s differ slightly internally between their different models (I'm guessing it just depends on when they were made).
And by the way, to those who might actually care, I fried the SP in this original project, but I might eventually try it again!

Someone finally finished one of these a few months ago, but I can't for the life of me remember who did it. A search of F42 might turn it up. Just a sec...
