Commodore 64c Part One: Teardown & Re-Cap
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Hi everyone and welcome to part one of our Commodore 64c refurbishment series.
Managed to snag this 'Mint In Box' Commodore 64C on eBay for £50. Good news is that it is fairly minty, at least visually. There are troubles ahead no doubt though so, before even powering it on, we'll be doing some preventative maintenance and giving the old girl a good look over.
Thanks to Phil at www.retroleum.co.uk for the re-cap kit, heatsinks and some other goodies you'll see in the videos.
Thanks for stopping by!

Nice video and well narrated. If this is your first video intended for general public consumption you did very well. For Part 2 you might consider losing the retro lo-res text and go for something a little more readable-at-a-glance. I never owned a Commodore C64 myself but have been around early computing a lot, so it was a very pleasant nostalgia trip. Looking forward to Part 2.
Thank you!
Great effort for a first video! I've got two bread bins I'm currently working on. Hope this one is an easy fix!
I hope so too! Seem to have lost my previous thank you as a result of the channel moving home - so, a re-stated and belated thank you :)
An otherwise fine video somewhat ruined by the way too loud terrible music. I'm forced to choose between cringing myself and waking everyone else in the house up or hearing what the narrator is trying to say...
These early videos were... not good audio-wise. Biggest criticism by far but it’s a steep learning curve. There’s been some significant investment in time and equipment since then so hopefully you’ll find the later videos more acceptable. Thanks for persevering through :)
My journey started with a 48k spectrum..commodore16/4 then an amiga 500...I just bought a c64c off ebay for £40 and it works great...goodd video and thanks.
Great Video, but please put you voice and the music at the same level. PLEASEEEEeeeeeeee.
That’s one of the very first videos I ever did and I knew *nothing* about making videos at that point :) Check out the later ones and you’ll find things improve :)
Enjoyed you video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
1:54 OMG, that's missing something useful there :)
:) :) Yep!
A resemble would have been Great
need a fuse I'm guessing
was lucky enough to get 2 64c's myself (actually only after one but duplicate ebay bids lol).......both listed as untested but both working luckily
really need to get round to refurbing them have a recap kit for one but time never seems to be there to get things done
had a c128 back in the day but only ever used it in 64 mode.....if you ever get your hands on one would love to see a refurb
Glad you’re enjoying the channel :) A C128 is on my hit list so hopefully soon :)
Do you repair these? Looking for someone to check out my childhood computer!!
Mine has warranty seal still on but need a new U6 chip as font shows black and white on main screen
Mostly black letters with some being white some flickering
Did you re-cap the RF-modulator? Doing that improves the video quality.
ANNOYING MUSIC WAY TOO LOUD
One of the very first videos and I had no idea what I was doing :) Hopefully things have improved in more recent videos :)
