carlsson Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Does one post something like that out of lazyness, being clueless or just for trolling purposes? Asking for a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hueyjones70 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 That is what I would expect also. I sold an 800XL on eBay and the buyer messaged me that he couldn't get a stable video and then he said he was using a commodore power supply. I looked up the pinouts and I replied that he shouldn't use the commodore supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 @hueyjones70 At the very least, "Commodore" and "Atari" are different computers made by different manufacturers. That, alone, should say, "hey, you might want to Google this, first." That guy who bought your 800XL was a jack ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Aha, with more context the question made more sense. Yes, too bad you didn't include a PSU with the computer you sold and even worse if the buyer took a chance plugging in just about anything they had around.

motrucker Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 This thread sure took a nose dive when it was resurrected. I don't believe in using C-128 PSUs these days - leave them for the C-128s out there - It's to easy to build your own for your C-64 if you can solder. You can find components at stores like JameCo Electronics to roll your own.: https://www.jameco.com/Jameco/content/resource-center.html?CID=GOAW&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrezgwqWg6gIVB4bICh0v_ADZEAAYASAAEgKl6_D_BwE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 This looks like a good deal. Looks the part, not TOO pricey. hopefully built properly. Anyone have any experience? https://www.keelog.com/power-supply/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
