I bought an old C64C from a friend last Sunday.
Sorry about the blurry pic, the rear camera in my phone needs replacing. I have one here and intend to do so this weekend.
Progress so far: keyboard filled up!
This is what I have ready to build a PSU. The 9V AC adaptor (in the post) will plug in to the Belkin. The USB cable will be cut, and both soldered into the DIN plug. I also have shrink tubing in the post to make a good job of that connection.
Once the composite cable arrives I’ll be able to power it on and test it. Once I know it powers on, I’ll replace the capacitors. Solder sucker and braid also purchased for the operation.
Once I know it’s all working well, I’ll add an SD2IEC device so I’ll be able to treat SD cards as disks, and a joystick, and I’ll be ready for action!
The last part of this project will have to wait until next summer though. The most tedious part, but the one that will complete its look. Retro brighting!
This won’t be taking over from my game development. That’s going to continue as normal (whatever that is) 😉
