Hi, I've been trying to repair an early VIC-20 model, with the same motherboard as the VIC-1001, with no luck. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3206018/EarlyVIC20Repair/motherboard_mini.jpg full resolution I've already checked the chips identified in the Carlsen guide as blank screen culprits. Al...

Seems like all "l" (lowercase) were replaced by "w" !

Awasome!
Thanks for sharing

Put my name on the list, please!

I'll send a PM with full details now too.

I've re-checked everything twice and three times without lucck

I'll postpone this repair until I get in mood again

Hi, I'm in a repairing spree this summer (this is my 3rd this month!) and in a dead end: This one starts ok, but refuses to load from any cartridge. I've tried with a game one, previously tested on a fully working computer, with no luck. I've tested with the diagnostic cart + 3K (actually a superexp...

Thanks! answering right now!

ouch! tha thurts!

That has happened to me a couple of times. The sellers just put everything in a box and send by mail. The transformator banging the keyboard from all directions broked a few keys a couple of times.

Thanks a lot

Perhaps the reward to those who help you on the translation could be a printed copy of the translated copy itsel...

I've seen those PSUs before with early Atari 8 bit (400/800 models) sold in UK, branded Tadmod,. Those computers have also 9vAC power sources, so they should be an OEM PSU builder used on early machines sold there. There were early Europe logo PSK machines. Actually I have a couple of them. https://...

BTW, anyone knows which manual/user guide comes with the first PKS model that came in the while&blue box and PSU like the VIC1001 as Mayhem said? I have one with out manual and the others I've seen are w/o it too, like in the awesome page by oldcomputr (http://www.oldcomputr.com/commodore-vic-20...

I've been always reluctant to applying RetroBright to my own machines (like in coins, I think the "patina" are part of the history ) but your's looks so good I'm starting to change my mind... seriously!

Nice one !

Hi, Does it has actually a silver label or a golden one like the USA model? I scored some time ago a PET-keyboard VIC on Australia and it has a silver/golden label, t's made in Japan, serial number 532068. The motherboard is the second model, not the first VIC20-E nor the third VIC20-CR and the VIC ...
