    Amstrad GX4000 apparently a POS, especially for back then!

    I just saw this YT video!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upBEinpk51I

    Starting at or around 8:53 in the video, it looks like the cheapo PSU overvolts wildly with zero load!

    Who would expect "MADE IN CHINA" back in the Made-In-Japan golden period??? If that's even period-correct, then it must mean that they were being cheap bastards!
