THE EXPANSION MODULE #2 KEY SWITCH MODIFICATION!

The key switch turned out to really be a toy switch... it is VERY small. So it was easy to add it to the EM2. Plenty of room and a nice fit. I -=am=- disappointed that it doesn't turn clockwise but I may reverse the wires to make it work the way I want it to. There are tiny little red/green dots on it indicating which way it should be turned for the on position which is how/why I wired it up that way.

 

I'd say this mod is complete. :-)

Let me first start out by saying that "I am flat-out jealous!".

 

Your EM#1 mod has turned out to be simply incredible and will definetly become the envy of the CV Community, perfect placement of the key power switch I might add.

 

Love the video also... think it should be nominated for an Oscar!

Hi Madaracs.

 

I completely agree.

Not only for your ColecVision and Turbo mod. but also the wall you made for your flat panel.

Is there a way to get the key cylinder to turn clockwise?

Yeah, i think if i just cross-wire it--it should work in reverse. The key is designed wrong as I explain above, but if it works in reverse...as I believe it should... I'll be set.

 

Thx for all the compliments!

No dice on the switch. I wasn't thinking straight. The switch leg is still the same when you switch the + and - on this switch. So it still only turns on when opening the circuit counterclockwise.

Too bad about the switch, but it's still an awesome mod!

 

Just tell people it's British. Everyone knows they do everything backwards.
