Space Saver Pro
€17,95
The SpaceSaver Pro cable for the C64 and VIC20 CR* is THE solution to the inefficient use of space that traditional power cables cause by connecting to the power-plug in a straight line. Because of the elbow design, the power-cable leaves the C64 at a 90 degree angle towards the back, reducing the cable footprint dramatically.
This high quality cable not only is fully injection moulded, it also has a built-in overvoltage protector on the 5V supply, to avoid damage by faulty power supplies. A small window in the connector allows you to see the led indicator, where green means all is ok, but red indicates an overvoltage. Whenever the 5V rail goes over the 5.4V threshold, the circuit inside will cut the power within nanoseconds, to prevent any harm to the chips inside your beloved machine.
Your power supply plugs right into the female DIN connector, and the 30cm long 20AWG grade wiring in between the connectors makes sure this cable can handle currents up to 3.5A. A grippy surface makes plugging in and removing the cable easy, avoids stress on the internal cable joints, and there is enough clearance to accommodate the many variances in case/socket depth, which prevents the cable casing from putting permanent stress on the power socket.
*The VIC20 CR (cost reduced) version uses the same power connector as the C64, and has a separate +5V rail which is susceptible to overvoltage from a bad PSU.

How does it work exactly?
The base circuit we use is based of Bwack’s Power Saver design, which you can find on Github: https://github.com/bwack/C64-Saver-bwack
The overvoltage circuit works by way of a precision shunt voltage regulator (TL431) that keeps an exact eye on the input (reference) voltage (based off a maximum of 5.4V) and if the reference voltage is exceeded it starts to direct current away from a secondary power MOSFET (BSS84) causing a voltage drop on it, which in effect then disables on the main P-Channel MOSFET (IRF9332PBF), effectively shutting down the output voltage. The circuitry doesn’t require you to reset it, or change a fuse after overvoltage has occurred.
Your power supply plugs right into the female DIN connector, and the 30cm long 20AWG gauge wiring in between the connectors makes sure this cable can handle currents up to 3.5A. A grippy surface makes plugging in and removing the cable easy, avoids stress on the internal cable joints, and there is enough clearance to accommodate the many variances in case/socket depth, which prevents the cable casing from putting permanent stress on the power socket.

Shipping Policy
All shipments typically sent within 3-5 business days if products are in stock.
Using the Track and Trace shipment option is highly recommended.
Assembled Sixtyclones will only be sent with T&T and insurance.
IMPORTANT! While we do offer the option of cheaper untracked shipping to make sure the purchase of smaller sized items stays reasonable, due to the current situation with overloaded postal services due to COVID-19, there is a higher risk of serious delays or even damage and loss completely outside of our control. Our advice is to only use this shipping method for smaller items with acceptable risk to delay or loss. Inquiries about shipments without tracking will not be possible (as there is no information to give). By choosing untracked shipping buyer accepts all risks involved and no claims will be accepted, nor will any restitution of costs be granted by Run Stop Re-Store in the case of a lost shipment.
