Step 5ROCK OUT!!!

ROCK OUT!!!
So now you should have a fully armed and operational Commodore 64 keytar. I'd like to thank my wife for understanding my 8-bit rock needs, and my cat Tidbit for assisting in the wiring (see below). You may have noticed that my C64 has an extra button, this is a warmstart reset switch. I was going to provide a step on installing it but it seems that there are different ways for different models of c64, so I chose to skip it. If you want your own there should be instructions available elsewhere on the web. Or bug me and I will eventually include it with this Instructable.

Here are a few links that may help if you are having trouble.
