- This Commodore 64 has some serious issues. Today we'll finish looking at this messed up machine and I will cover the typical steps I take when I restore a machine.
We all know that these old computers did it better!

ABOUT RAVENWOLF RETRO TECH
RavenWolf Retro Tech brings you new vintage tech videos regularly. We love to restore and explore vintage technology and are also working on completing an assembly language RPG that I started making on the C64 in 1984.
At RavenWolf Retro Tech we restore and explore vintage technology from Back in the Day! Now that we are moved into the new shop, the frequency of videos is increasing. I’ll keep putting out videos as I can, but I promise to focus on higher quality videos that don’t waste your time over frequent, low effort projects.

This was a very interesting repair. Did you see anything I should have done different?
Nice repair. Bummer it took so many chips. CIAs are going to be the next big need in the C64 space since they seem to be dying. I have replaced at least a half dozen in the past 2 years. There is a new CIA replacement, the JCIA but it is currently pretty expensive and not always in stock. I think if Jim Drew finishes his version of the CIA replacement, his might be more affordable.
When using the Diagnostic program the two timers at the bottom of the screen are the timers in CIA 1 and CIA 2 and they should both count/read the same at all times. When you ran the diagnostic, the timer for the CIA 2 had random characters. Most of the fun is in the hunting down of the fix no matter how bad a machine is, the more fixes it needs just makes it more rewarding at the end (not monetarily but in knowledge gained). Keep them out of the trash or they will become rare.
What a pain and journey, but you got it all fixed. Excellent job! Thanks for sharing
I was so close. I thought it was going to be the 74 LS629. Nice job!!
Long heat-sinks increase the capacity to absorb heat. They are more efficient in removing heat from the ICs hot spot.
You make great videos on this stuff!
It freaking works! Lol very nice troubleshooting. I have never seen that before, chip being bad in the vicII box. Crazy. I knew u would get it:) nice work
@RavenWolfRetroTech Enjoyed this video because I have a C64 that works fine on a 1702, but no output is captured when using any more recent AV devices and AV to HDMI converters. It gives me good directions as to where and how to look into it. Thanks!
hello host fully watch here with two ads, impressive content.
How many more computers and bits and pieces to repair from the stone collection a few hundred?
Very nice. Where are you going to be selling your refurbished ones at?
