#TOG @tog #retrocomputing folk - do any of you have a #Commodore64 #C64C which you'd be happy to open up so I can test a keyboard I received?

A close-up top-down photo of the keyboard end of the keyboard connector cable. The wires disappear into myriad holes in the keyboard assembly. The transparent plastic tape holding the wires in place appears to be original, and untampered with.

The main board end of the keyboard cable, showing an apparently intact connector.

A wide shot of the back of the keyboard assembly. It doesn't appear to have ever been opened - or if it was, the previous owner was careful to replace all the screws.

The business end of the keyboard. It looks relatively clean and intact.

Got my modren #C64 power supply, and powered up the unit I got, and it works! … kinda. The sound is very quiet and has a bad buzz, so I’m guessing there’s a bad capacitor, maybe?

As a larf, I also hooked it up to the #C64c that I had in a tote… and it also worked, and better than the other one! It got a dunking in a flood a while back, so I need to open it up and see how bad it is inside… but it played the little music program I typed in!

Old computers are cool and weird, man.

The day was a complete success. My father had his own little journey through time. First we loaded Rainbow Island from the floppy and then played Wheel of Fortune for a while. During the course of the day my father cooked and while we were eating we watched an old episode of Wheel of Fortune and talked about the good old days.

This is the first time in about 24 years that I'm loading a #commodore64 game from a #floppydisk , using the same #c64 setup as back then.

My #sd2iec arrived today, I set it up and tested it straight away. My early version of the #c64c actually still has the original #sidchip in it and it actually still works just like my Joyboard controller. Unfortunately you have to twist it downwards but that's ok. Unfortunately my seriell cable still needs a bit of work but then it's actually done.

Update on #C64 purchases: The #floppydrive #1541ii & the #BubbleBobbleCollection have arrived. However, the drive was missing the data cable, so I couldn't connect the drive to the #c64c & had to order a new cable for €10.
