Change voltage without a screwdriver
Has anyone been able to rig something up to adjust the voltage on an arcade power supply without puling out the screwdriver?

Re: Change voltage without a screwdriver
My power supply is like this one so no way to attach a secondary knob over the top of the existing knob:

The dial that is there has such low resistance to turning that a hot glue solution should work. What could I glue to it? Something like a drill bit extension would work if it were plastic. Maybe a plastic rod:

or wooden dowel:

Re: Change voltage without a screwdriver
Heh, would actually be really interesting to affix something similar to an Astro City style PSU. I always dread stabbing a metal screwdriver into that hole, knowing how easy it is to miss the pot and accidentally short circuit the whole thing.
Yes it's happened to me before.
What the hell were Sega thinking.

Get a plastic screwdriver. They were made for exactly that.
