Looking great, but would add an internal power connector. Using for
example the same kind of connector used for floppy drive.

Shrouded header, 4-pin, AMP 171825-4 or similar.

pin 1: +4V
pin 2,3: GNF
pin 4: +12V (unused)

just pinholes on the PCB is sufficient. No need to mount the connector
at factory. A suitable pin header is easily obtained trivial to solder
by hand when needed.
