Whatever you do, don’t use original power supplies with the C64. They decay over time and will fry the mainboard (there’s no overvoltage protection). Get a modern replacement! —Thomas F.

I was lucky enough to come across an Apple IIe and C64 at the Techno Swap Fest in Maryland today. I was on the fence but the Apple IIe was in very good condition with some additional boards (80 char, memory, CP/M) and the color monitor and duo disk drive with a bunch of accessories and software. The C64 comes with a power supply, joystick, some cables and software. Paid $125 for everything so it seemed fair compared to eBay / CL prices I could find.
Also they threw in an ImageWriter II if anyone is interested in it please let me know.
I'll bring these both up to the next repair workshop I can attend for some guidance on them. Likely in April.
Thanks and looking forward to collaborating with everyone soon.
