Well i figured i would just start a post on this to keep all the pictures of the process. So here is the begining of the conversion process. Newest part update is the pendant i changed , again lol. Yes it is touchscreen too. Making the jog panel layout very similar to fadal factory style. More pics when i get a lil further on the wiring part.

Looking good. Are you keeping a notepad by the cabinet to take wiring notes along the way?

You will need a good distribution point for the 5VDC and 0VDC (COM) that you will be using for all of the input switches and sensors,
