    Reinsert Smoke - Recapping and repairing C64s

    Did all the smoke come out of your Commodore 64, and now it won't work? As you know, electronic components are all full of smoke, and if it comes out, they won't work anymore. This is an old electricians' joke about electronics burning up... they say "All the smoke came out." In this episode, we talk about repairing the Commodore 64 by replacing capacitors, voltage regulators, and chips. It isn't hard, and it can eliminate instability. If your C64 won't work at all, locating and replacing the bad chip(s) can bring it back to life. An accompanying video is on our Youtube channel, and linked from the C64Show.com website.

    Ep. 01 - Future Past

    The first episode of The Commodore 64 Show features an interview with Commodore picker and author Brian Husek, whose book "No Reserve" tells about his adventures buying Commodore computers all over the country for his resale business. We also cover how to get back into Commodore computing again, or even for the first time, using emulators you can download today for free. If owning a physical Commodore 64 is what you prefer, we cover what you need to know before buying one.
