Commodore billed the VIC-20 as "The Friendly Computer" right on the front of the box. However, my VIC-20 still isn't feeling friendly... in fact, "Dr." Sloopy diagnosed the issue as a failing VIC 6560 chip.
So I did what I do best/worst: I went to eBay, the place where I buy the things I later regret™. Lo and behold, I found a tested VIC-20 motherboard, with a picture of it working, and with what appear to be correct colors on-screen, for less than a 6560 from China. One full send on the potential regrets... I mean Buy It Now later, and I have a box in the basement that is waiting for this stream.
Will it play great games? Will it have cost me under $300 by the time I have it fixed? Will I figure out what's wrong with the original VIC-20 motherboard? Will I fry a 6560 in the process? You'll have to watch to find out!
