That doesn't look too bad a design in terms of safety.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Still doesn't look much gap on the top track as its mains. Not much clearance to the ground pad either.. or much gap between the N-E-L pins on the connector, looks smaller gap than what flashed over on the switch PCB!
