Nice work. I'd recommend also running the SID tester program by Andrew Challis, it can reveal issues that the regular diagnostic test will not. Also the police are on their way
@@MoreFunMakingIt He was just in awe at how big everything was and how little storage was. It was funny when I handed him my 1541. I was watching this and an LGR 386 computer and he started asking what was going on so I broke out some of my stuff.
Glad I bought a memory chip tester as I'm having the same multiple issues with the 7 Speccies and 7 C64s I have to work on (collect them for some reason), so a good, relevant video for me
Hey buddy! Been really enjoying these C64 repair videos of late. Really entertaining and always great to see another one resurrected by your good self. So many great tips being picked up along the way. Superb stuff mate. Have a great weekend 🤟👍😎🍺🏴
Great job on the repair!! After working in many C64 myself, I have found that the dead test memory flashes are a hit and miss. The more you fix them, the faster you repair them. Thanks for sharing
It's not so much the liquid gets inside, although I'm sure that could happen, rather than the legs corrode and that works it's way inside. I was sure it was going to be faulty!
Great video! I can't get enough diagnostic videos like this, well done. I am wondering about the RAM tester seen at 07:57. Can you tell me where to find more information about this device?
Thank you Michael! The ram tester I bought from a seller on ebay - www.ebay.co.uk/usr/analog-kid?_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2559 They do a range of different ones. Hope that helps!
Word... no father... Euhm so you are trying to say “you orphan”? Sorry for my ignorance Lee, English is only my second language ;) Awesome video as usual, great relaxation after a stressy morning my retro friend! MFMI does that stand for m*ther f*cking machine inspector? :P
Another C64 saved! I'm interested in seeing case clean ups. Always interesting to see people's methods and very satisfying to see a before and after.
I'll throw a cleanup in occasionally when it's interesting. Just for you 😉

I'll look that up! Have a marginal SID here I can try that with.
They'll never take me alive!
Another good one Lee, I introduced my 13 year old to retro repairs.
That's wonderful Curtis! Would love to know how that went.

@@CurtisOvard That's so cool. Great that he's taken an interest and amazing he has you to show him how things used to work!

That sounds like the start of an epic journey, and possibly the title of a musical 😁
Good luck!

Thanks Stewie! Loads more to come!

Thanks Rudy! It's starting to be unusual whether dead test gets it right!
Good fix!
Nice. The rusty one I thought was suspect as whatever liquid might have creeped inside?

15 seconds in and I said "U24 is faulty" ..you believe me ..right? ;) (great video as always, thanks!)
I believe!
Thanks for the video. I appreciate it. Can’t tell you what I am learning, but I’m learning something 😊
Again, thanks!
Learn something random every day!
Welcome 😁
Always trust in the washer of fate.
The Washer of Fate is now a permanent tool in my workbench.
Отличный метод ремонта - подкинуть монетку :-) Надо взять на вооружение!
It worked so it must be good! 😁

You got the first two words right 😆 the second two are interchangeable depending on what I've broken
Will you sign tacos
