Quick update on a C64 repair project. Today I’m checking the board a viewer sent me and things are… interesting!

12 months ago, I would have assumed that this motherboard was done. After watching you in action ever since, I would say that there is a very high probability that this can be salvaged with a little bit of TLC. This is definitely going to be an interesting video, and I am excited to see it 😄

Hadn’t seen anything from you in a while so good to see that you’re still active

Thank goodness it is only a 2-layer PCB. A 4-layer PCB (typically with inner ground and power planes) would be more difficult, but still do-able. Six layers and beyond? That's very difficult. Anyway, it is nice to see an old system like this fixed and back in use. I've just received a very old Atari 2600 video game console. I don't know what state it is in yet, and I don't even know how I am going to connect it to a display yet. I may be able to connect the RF output to an old VCR, and then connect that to something which has a composite video input.
