Somewhere my mate Malc's old HR16 is still around, with its butchered
ZX81 power supply that I made up about an hour before a gig that his old
band had, back in about 1992. It failed literally during the final
runthrough before packing everything up and driving to the pub -
fortunately I had my workshop keys for the wee computer shop I worked
in, so off we went, rummaged in the Big Bumper Fun Box Of Shite, and
conjured up a PSU.

proper one at some point". When I last saw it something like 15 years
later, it was still going...
