I picked up a cracking solid brass Gromit keyring.

Just got my DIY C64 diagnostics cart working
Now I have to finish the dongles and harness.
Also made a DIY composite cable out of a PS2 RCA video cable.
Composite cable is good for testing because it works much better than S-Video cables on some LCD TVs.

I believe it said 12v and 2 amps on the case.

Dead test carts and diagnostic carts are NOT the same thing, diag carts only work if your Vic/64/128 is partially working including minimal video out.
Dead test carts are virtually an external computer and usually plug into the various CPU, PLA & video chip sockets to analyze what is causing the motherboard to be inoperable.
