The RF modulator is huge because it's also the power supply. Yet another odd quirk of this machine's design.

Oh wow, thanks for that! I've often thought of picking up one of these machines again... but I quickly realize that I'd really have little to do with it other than boot it up, and look at it. I think I'm probably more suited for an emulator.
