I have a C7 and a C5 (Sony, not Sinclair!) and both are going strong. However,
(and we're getting more and more off thread here), do you know where I can get
a circuit diagram of a Sony SLV-815 video recorder switch-mode PSU from. I've
tried Sony and they say it's a replacement module - which at 100.00 is a bit
