FYI: another C64 slowdown product was the:

"Slomo" "Micro VDU Screen Controller" made by Nidd Valley in England

See picture:

Googl'ing for "slomo nidd valley" reveals that this product was 
available for BBC Acorn, Spectrum and Amstrad CPC.

There seems to be no information about the C64 edition on Google - but 
the picture proves that such product did exist for C64

PS: the "Slomo" on the picture belongs to a friend of mine - and I 
forgot to take a closer look at it the last time I visited him.
