Well, retro recipes actually has a incentive to buy a trashed commodore over a mint commodore. He can make content with that. might be why the price was steeper.

Thank you for your video. It's been quite a trip down memory lane. I am a retired school board technician who has repaired thousands of commodore products. Our school board spent millions of dollars purchasing c64s peripherals every year and their failure rates were very high. I remember I had a coffee can full of defective ICs that weighed about 5 lbs. I can hear the diagnostic sound wave in my head to this day. Thank you again for the nostalgia. I'm happily retired now and never touching a computer again. 😉 Lol. Fantastic videos.

I've got to hand it to you, you're a genius! At the beginning of this video, I thought you were planning to throw away the PCB and replace it with a raspberry pi, and only salvage the keyboard. The PCB looked beyond repair. You definitely know your stuff and I learned a few things watching this video.

I'm amazed!!!!! This actually brought a tear to my eyes. Thank you!!!! I love my C64, 1541 drives & 1702 monitor that I got for Xmas 1983 when I was 15 (monitor in 1984 upgrading from a 12 inch B&W TV). I still use them all the time (well not the two 1541so much since getting a Ultimate - II+). Now starting week 4 of Ohio's stay at home order and have been very stressed, but your video just took me away from that for a bit and has made me feel good. Great Job and thank you again!!!

Long time/first time. Being stuck at home 24/7, seeing a video like this pop up is sheer joy to make this stressful time more bearable. The classic breadbin C64 was my first computer, and still my favorite (you never forget your first love...). Seeing you and others like 8Bit Guy restoring and caring for these, it really brings me back to my early teen years spending hours typing in hex programs from Compute's Gazette, coding in machine language, or just playing millions of games. You and the whole 'Fractic family are some much fun, keep it up!

Stunning job. A C64 (C I think) was the first computer my parents bought us back in the 80's, followed not too long after by an A500, and then an Amiga each for my 2 brothers and then me (an A1200 - which I still have to this day - although its not currently working). Love the channel.
