Re: Video noise on VIC-20
I am confused. I am also highly hung over and drinking again so who knows ... I think this is from having two different people experiencing nearly identical video issues with third-party power supplies. The one I have is this: C64 PSU Modern Black US - Replacement Commodore 64 Power Supply, US Plug...
