Is This the Ultimate Way to Fix Vintage Computer Cases?

Is your Commodore 64 literally falling apart at the seams? You aren’t alone. As these iconic machines hit their 40th anniversary, the ABS plastic is becoming notoriously brittle. Snapped screw posts and broken case clips are often the “death sentence” for a Breadbin… until now.

In this video, I’m sharing a repair method I’ve been experimenting with that has completely changed how I look at “written-off” cases. Using UV-curable resin, 3D-printed PETG clips, and some “kitchen-chemistry” silicone moulds, we can actually make these cases stronger than they were when they left the factory in the 80s.
