This one is leaving my collection soon. It's a nicely working Commodore 64c. I put an ad on Craigslist and got several interested buyers. Why am I selling? I have a "breadbin" 64 that's in very faded condition cosmetically, but I've replaced everything broken on the inside. One 64 is enough for me.
Interestingly, I tried Facebook marketplace first, but only got one lukewarm response. That's unusual. The Craigslist post got many inquiries. It's funny how those two seem to flip-flop in popularity.

Those power supplies are known to go bad and take the C64 with it. This one tests out fine. But it makes sense to either buy a modern power adapter or buy a Ray Carlson sacrificial diode wire.
On my breadbin, I built my own power adapter AND use the diode thing.

haha this illustrates perfectly that looks aren't everything 😁

That's right. You should see the one I made. Frankenstein-esque. But totally safe.
