Commodore 64 Computer Cleaned, Repaired, And For Over 12 Hours

Tested for over 12 hours with the Diagnostic Rev. 586220 and full diagnostic harness, without any errors. This Commodore 64 has been cleaned, repaired, and tested. The case and keyboard are in excellent condition. There are no broken hinges, tabs, or screw mounts. I took photos of the case while it was disassembled to show how good the condition is. The serial number is P5208125 which was originally built in West Chester PA. It has motherboard assembly number 250425 and has a...ll the original MOS chips including an original SID. All the major chips, all of the RAM, and two of the logic chips are all socketed, making for easy repairs if any of the chips fail in the future. All the original shielding is in place and in good shape. The RF/Heat Sink shield was cleaned and new heat sink compound applied. The computer was completely disassembled and cleaned inside and out. Any bad chips and components have been replaced. The auction does not include the diagnostic harness or cartridge, I only included a screen shot of that in one of the photos to show that I’ve used the full Diagnostic Rev. 586220 with harness to test the computer. The auction is for the Commodore 64 computer only, but I am including one of my DIY composite(RCA) audio/video cable and a DIY power supply for free as a courtesy. I make these myself out of used power bricks. This is the exact same power supply used during the 12+ hour diagnostic test. I’ve never had any issues with it and it has a nice steady 5v dc output, but you use the power supply at your own risk without any guarantee. It’s probably safer than most of the original power supplies at this point, but you can also find many quality professionally made new power supplies for sale online. The AV cable is a very basic composite cable and just over 4' long. The test images above where using a different S-Video cable. This commodore has the 8-pin S-video capable output. I've also jumped the L1 inductor in the RF modulator to decrease color bleed on the video output. If you want a nicer higher quality output S-Video cable they can be purchased online.
