    So my C64C is hosed.
    I'm trying to fix it if possible (although I'm not the most electronically minded) but I think my power supply is dodgy (sometimes good readings, sometimes bad readings) - I have this thread on lemon64 help forum about it.

    Anyhoo - whether or not it's dodgy I think I'd end up getting a new one in any case

    Can anybody recommend a source to get one ?

    I was going to recommended the same power supply the user on lemon64 suggested.

    I was going to link to the official site though, they're based in Poland so no matter if you buy it from amazon or the website it will be shipped from Poland.

    OK - I had looked at it there also so it's good to get another recommendation.
    I'll go ahead with that so

    So I got the new Power supply and re-capped it and it works !!!

    Now on to the cleaning phase - I'm thinking BBlonde hair bleach as it's supposed to be like Retr0bright in a bottle.


    I don't have UV lamps though

    Anyhow - here she is :)
