This Commodore 64 is serial number P00760426, and has been cleaned, repaired, and tested for over 13 hours (796 iterations) with Diagnostic Rev. 586220 and full diagnostic harness without any errors. The clock on the screen shot shows 1:10 because it flips after 12 hours.
The case and keyboard have some minor yellow, but are in very good condition (see photos). The computer did however require some minor repairs internally. Two of the mother board screw mounts where broken and... have been replaces. I 3D print my own replacement parts for these out a C64 color matched filament. Commodore was notoriously inconsistent with there case color to begin with, but this filament is about as close as you can get to the original color of these bread bin cases. Some of the keyboard screw mounts had cracks, so I reinforced them with some epoxy. All the screw mounts hold firmly and none of the repairs can be seen from the outside.
It has motherboard assembly number 250407 with 8-pin NTSC video output. It has all the original MOS chips including an original SID. All the original shielding is in place. Personally I recommend removing the cardboard top shield for better air flow, but for the sake of originality I've included the top shield on this unit.
Also, included is a basic RCA Composite video cable that should work with most modern TVs. I make the video cables myself and the cable is around 6' long. If you would prefer an S-video cable or original 1702 style monitor cable, message me after the auction and I can swap the composite cable for the cable of your choice at no additional charge.
The auction is for the Commodore 64 and video cable only, but I’m also including a tested original power supply. These power supplies have a reputation of failing over the years and causing a higher than rated voltage which can damage the computer. I’ve tested this power supply and unloaded it produces 5.1 VDC and at the motherboard under load, it produces 5.09 VDC. This is perfectly within normal range. Being that this power supply is over 30 years old I cannot make any guarantees of its continued reliability and you use the power supply at your own risk. If you have any concerns you can find many quality professionally made new power supplies for sale online. If you do not want the power supply, please let me know. It's getting harder and harder to find original power supplies and parts to repair them.
The auction does not include the diagnostics or tools show in the photos. I only included the photos of these to show that I’ve fully tested the computer.
I will use either USPS or UPS for shipping. Since I'm listing this with free shipping I reserve the right to select whichever carrier is cheaper. I try to be very thorough with my description, but If you have any questions feel free to ask. Please check my other listings. I usually list 2 to 3 working and tested Commodores a week, so if you're looking for something specific let me know.
