FWIW, C64 power supplies are notoriously terrible and almost all of them produce over-voltage by now; essentially frying the computer because Commodore thought fuses and such are too expensive. The power supplies (iirc) aren’t serviceable either. There’s a bunch of instructions for making your own supply, and there’s sellers of new power supplies as well. (I have a European PAL C-64C and use a 3rd-party supply.) Best, Thomas

So the PAL c64 has a different type of power supply. A european two prong type. Does anyone know what it will take to convert power to American 120V?
I need to start planning on how to get this machine up and tested at the next workshop June 30.
