What's wrong with this Commodore 64?

[@boredwithusernames]

Great idea with the keyboard testing rig, I am going to build one of those myself, great way of testing each key 👍Great video, I enjoy all C64 repair videos, please keep them coming when you can ;)

If the standoffs are completely broken off inside, you can use adhesive "darts." Others have used those for that purpose.

Instantly yes

Rev 1 Kernals are fairly rare. If you manage to remove it non-destructively, I'd be interested in buying it from you.

[@TrevorMakes]

Hi Bo, I was considering replacing the kernal anyway, so I'll go ahead and carefully remove it and drop a socket in there. I can send you a message through your site later.

I had one of those, no idea what happened to it, I'm sure it went into a closet and was thrown out at some point...

[@TrevorMakes]

I'm sure many of them met the same fate. I think they're still fun to poke about with though. Coding for them in machine language is very similar to 8-bit microcontrollers like Arduino, with similar performance even.

Check out the multimeter at kaiweets.com/products/kaiweets-km602-smart-digital-multimeter-6000-counts-true-rms and use code TM15 for 15% off (not an affiliate link-I don't get a commission for this)

You can 3D print a new internal hinge and glue it in. /fyi

[@TrevorMakes]

That's a great idea, I can strengthen all of them so they won't be at risk of breaking later on!
