About this video

Armed with a multimeter, a toothbrush and alcohol, TheRetroChannel compares a healthy Commodore 64 board with a sick one and applies the same checks. It is part one of three.

Good to know: Alcohol used for cleaning is flammable and needs ventilation. Part 1 of a 3 part series.

Why watch it
