The most important advise is to buy a new replacement power brick. Dont use the original, too risky. Bill On Tue, Feb 21, 2023, 7:21 PM Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Personally I would suggest bringing it to one of the workshops. There are many people interested in commodore 64 that could help. Including Jeff Brace. I have a diagnostic cartridge and harness and so do others. Matter of fact I need help with an apple 2 plus keyboard issue.

My wife and I have been cleaning her parents' old house, and I found her brother's Commodore 64 in the original old cardboard box and with a holder overfull with 5-1/4" floppies. No sign of a floppy drive yet. Is there a recommended web page for steps forward? I'm an EE, built some ham radios, but no experience reviving a C64 (assuming it needs reviving - don't want to power it up with the 40 yr old old supply!). There are many, many YouTube videos but I wonder if any of them or particular site is considered -the- place to go.
Thanks for any recommendations, Mike ab3ap
