https://youtu.be/aq2tlEr6_Ns?&t=96 NTSC to PAL conversion. Its not hard and from the looks of things, the NTSC chip inventory is at zero. #retrocomputing
Sean 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷Ugh, this thing must have gotten hit by a dying power supply. Two 4164, PLA and VIC2 dead. But it’s back. #retrocomputing
Sean 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷Geeze. Dead SID and dead BASIC ROM too. No output on the audio test and no text on the screen when booting normally. #retrocomputing
Sean 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷I think I found the problem with the BASIC ROM. #retrocomputing
Sean 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷Huh. It actually works. Imagine literally any piece of electro-waste from today still working in 50 years after you resolder a missing trace or pin back on. #retrocomputing
Sean 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷Functional keyboard with broken keyboard screw mounts. Did someone throw this across the room when it destructed? #retrocomputing
Sean 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷This entire thread. https://youtu.be/RY7S6EgSlCI
Sean 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷#commodore64 PAL conversion in progress. At this point, if you have a dead NTSC VIC, the USD $2 crystal oscillator and a PAL VICII from Europe is your best bet. #retrocomputing
Sean 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷Superb. Needed to adjust the color pot slightly to bring the color signals into spec for PAL. #retrocomputing
