    Nice video Steve! You should make one of these, a really useful thing. Cheers!

    Nice video, thanks for sharing bud. Must try not to forget the measure twice, cut once principle! But then, keeping the machines safe is the most important bit. ;)

    Stand the LEDs tall on their long solid leads, so you can set aside cover, when it's time to change the fuse

    I have found some of the C64 Savers out there tend to lower the 5V noticeably so of you're PSU is a bit on the low side it may have issues powering up with the Saver connected. I bought a really well designed version with very little overhead on the 5V rail from EverlastEngineering on ETSY Canada (yes, I'm in Canada). I would like to see someone do a Video on the various 64 Savers and see which ones have the lowest overhead including the latest BWack design that was supposed to address that issue. =Mark.

    Time to get out the soldering iron and build. Another great video. I am curious to know how much the project cost you.

      Hi .. The pcb came from a friend, although they are only 5 bucks for 5 at PCBWay ..so I'd say 10 to £15 each .. cheap build 😉

    Just thinking out loud here: Aren't there digital regulators that would continue to output 5v even when the power rises above? This would permit folks to use those failing power supplies safely.

      Yeah, there is ... or put them in yer c64 ;) .. 12v and 5v buck regular ;)

    Brother, did you get any results when trying to unlock the Xbox 360 Winchester board?

      @youtubeplaylist3920 No, but there are whispers of a soft mod 😉

      @8BitRetroReFix Seriously? Do you have any report on how the installation will be? Will it be via pendrive or via the console browser?
