I fixed a Commodore 16 that a viewer sent me quite a while ago. Apparently, he found it in the trash and tried to fix it himself, but after failing, he left it in the basement for a long time. At some point there were leaks down there and while cleaning out the basement he found it again and decided to give it to me (thanks :) ) It had a lot of problems, including broken traces on the motherboard, a chip with one leg cut off and even a non working keyboard that someone had already tried to repair. Honestly, I have no idea what this Commodore went through. Maybe it had several different owners and each of them tried their own repair...

Wow-you are getting VERY GOOD at this-I may start sending you things to repair!! You’ve become a Master at trace and pad repair-and NOW you’re a Chip Surgeon!! Very well done!! It was worth the wait-that one had a LOT of problems!!

Just watched the video 😃 — I want to try to sum up my thoughts in a few words: you’re absolutely incredible. What an amazing repair. Seriously impressive! 👍🏻👋🏻

Great job on the repair. I would have initially assumed that it would be necessary to carve away more of the multiplexer chip packaging to make a good connection. But that would risk damaging the adjacent pin connections. Hopefully you can find a replacement ROM chip at a reasonable price.

Watching these videos has given me the courage to try tinkering with something myself. I am going to mod a Boss CE-300 Super Chorus to have gain settings appropriate for a keyboard. Now to wait for it to get here from Japan. Thanks for the inspiration.
