    Commodore 64 Help

    Anyone know a thing or two about these? I've wanted one for a while (strictly for the game side of it) and today I bought a boxed one for $30. Untested, but I figured it should work with no problems due to the cosmetic condition.

    The first thing I noticed is that the power light was very dim. Nothing but static on the TV no matter what I did. I then noticed a burnt out fuse in the box. I replaced it with a new one. Nothing. The power light did get really bright for a bit, but then went so dim if looked like it was off.

    Everything looks OK inside. I'm thinking it's the power supply.

    It's been awhile since Ive played with the actual hardware. Might want to check out www.lemon64.com in their help and support section forum. Fairly knowledgeable site for C64 related topics.

    The C64 has great music to

          I used to be so in to these. I guess I would be still if my father hadn't given mine away without asking. It's been 15 years though since I lost mine so I might not be any help at this point.
