Entry 27th April 2020: Post 02: Commodore C64 PSU - Inside Out.


Commodore C64 PSU - Inside Out.

So I get to rewinding my Bubble Bobble tape and the C64C was dead.
Disaster I thought. I tracked the problem to the PSU and left it on
the bench for this morning. Amazing little beast with a date of
December 1982 which places it at the dawn of the C64, the original.

Opening up I could see no issues. The inside was crystal clear.
I checked the internal fuses and replaced the plug fuse. No joy.
I can only assume it didn't like Bubble Bobble.

And so I swapped over a PSU and rewound the tape, The trick to
keeping  tapes alive is to always rewind them and store them
vertically if you can.

Incredible isn't it, that the PSU was over 37 years old.

Was getting a touch difficult seeing out the windows today so
I ventured out into the jungle and cut the grass. There was this
very strange thing in the sky, all bright and yellow. Very odd.

Happy days.
