When it came to finding a good power supply though, now THEY are getting rare! I ended up making my own, which gives me piece of mind since it turns out the originals are rare because they keep dying and taking out your computer while they're at it!
I had 2 C-64s just freeze up and die on me back in the late 80s'. I ended up buying an aftermarket power supply from a local C64 dealer in Phoenix @ 1988. I still have the power supply and my 3rd C-64 is still going strong. I have a boxed C-64c that I'd bought from Rick Stillwell on this site. It works, but I have a feeling that it has a capacitor, or 2, that are going bad.


I've seen VIC-20 and C-64 carts being sold at Half-Price-Books in Dallas. The last cart I'd bought from them was Radar Rat Race, which isn't really that great of a game. I already had a copy of that game on floppy, but I bought it anyways.
