Shred<p>Quite some time ago, I asked you what I should restore next, and you voted for a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Commodore</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amiga</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CD32" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CD32</span></a> that was showing no picture. This project was waiting in my to-do box for some months now, and I did a bit here and a bit there. Let's use this <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroWeekend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroWeekend</span></a> to (hopefully) fix this machine.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroRepair</span></a></p>

Shred<p>Today I'm going to refurbish the second of three <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>C64</span></a> that are still waiting for repair. When I got this one, it was quite dirty and with permanent marker text on the back. It was sold as defective because it showed no picture, which I could already fix by replacing the VIC. I also already cleaned the case, and fully disassembled and cleaned the keyboard. (Photo shows the "before" state, of course. 😉 )</p><p>Next step: Recapping, and replacing the 7805 with a DC/DC converter.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroWeekend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroWeekend</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Commodore</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroRepairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroRepairs</span></a></p>
