At 24:30, Commodore actually did something clever here. On those pins, the center is GND and BOTH outside pins are the positive voltage. (Also check your schematic to see what i'm talking about). This means that as long as that connector is on all 3 pins, it can go in either way. Always thought that was a nice touch.
TH-cam have hidden your channel from me. I have been a TH-cam Commodore 64 channel subscription nutcase for over 5 years now and I just NOW discover your channel?!! I looked at your collection of videos and GOSH it looks super interesting!
I think that was really met too be green led I have no idea why they used red for the power on in the first place, im also thinking spray painting my keyboard black and use blue led as powering on
Thank you for showing how to remove that LED. Took me more trouble than it should have. Needed it out of the case for retrobrighting!
I'm happy it helped you. Good luck with the retrobrighting! :)

I can't believe I didn't catch that on the schematics myself. You are totally correct. Thank you for pointing it out! 😀

That's the small TH-cam channel life! :) Welcome to the channel.

I know right, green does make more sense 😅 blue on black would look awesome too!
Well I made me a IRQ led mod. I chose red / blue bicolor LED. 7404 hex inverter. Sone resistors.
Cool 😁
