Rebuilding A Commodore 64 Power Supply

Retro Hack Shack 47 min Published Apr 2021

About this video

Rebuilding a Commodore 64 power supply means removing the potting, rewiring around a modern 5V module, testing, and tracing the machine's wires, with alternatives to rebuilding discussed.

Good to know: Mains voltage inside, and capacitors that stay charged after unplugging; potting removal and soldering add burns and fumes.

Why watch it

Alternatives to rebuilding are covered first, in a chapter of about five minutes, before the plan and tools. At over 46 minutes it is a long video, and it uses a modern 5V Mean Well module.
