Commodore 64 left outside for over a decade! Could it still work??

Adrian tests and attempts to restore a Commodore 64C that was left exposed to the elements for over ten years.

I was given a Commodore 64C that had been left outside for a decade or more in rural Oregon. It dealt with everything mother nature could throw at it while it sat outside. Could this machine possibly still work? Watch to find out! NOTE: The soldered chip I said might possible be the SID was actually the PLA. The SID is the socketed chip by the video connector. --- Video links Part 2: youtu.be/x_3d8O5cJ9c Demo disk used: SIDBurners 7 csdb.dk/release/?id=10043 --- Tools Deoxit D5: amzn.to/2VvOKy1 store.caig.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1602/.f Jonard Tools EX-2 Chip Extractor: amzn.to/2VazxDS jonard.com/Products/EX-2-DIP-IC-Extractor-24-40-Pins Wiha Chip Lifter: amzn.to/3a9ftWw wihatools.com/precision-chip-lifter O-Ring Pick Set: (I use these to lift chips off boards) amzn.to/3a9x54J Elenco Electronics LP-560 Logic Probe: amzn.to/2VrT5lW Hakko FR301 Desoldering Iron: amzn.to/2ye6xC0 Rigol DS1054Z Four Channel Oscilloscope: rigolna.com/products/digital-oscilloscopes/1000z/ Head Worn Magnifying Goggles / Dual Lens Flip-In Head Magnifier: amzn.to/3adRbuy TL866II Plus Chip Tester and EPROM programmer: (The MiniPro) amzn.to/2wG4tlP aliexpress.com/item/33000308958.html TS100 Soldering Iron: amzn.to/2K36dJ5 ebay.com/itm/TS100-65W-MINI-Digital-OLED-Programmable-Solder… EEVBlog 121GW Multimeter: eevblog.com/product/121gw/ DSLogic Basic Logic Analyzer: amzn.to/2RDSDQw ebay.com/itm/USB-Logic-DSLogic-Basic-Analyzer-16Ch-100MHz-4C… Magnetic Screw Holder: amzn.to/3b8LOhG harborfreight.com/4-inch-magnetic-parts-tray-90566.html Universal ZIP sockets: (clones, used on my ZIF-64 test machine) ebay.com/itm/14-16-18-20-24-28-32-40-pin-IC-Test-Universal-Z… RetroTink 2X Upconverter: (to hook up something like a C64 to HDMI) retrotink.com/ Plato (Clone) Side Cutters: (order five) ebay.com/itm/1-2-5-10PCS-Micro-Scissor-125mm-PLATO-170-Elect… Heat Sinks: aliexpress.com/item/32537183709.html Little squeezy bottles: (available elsewhere too) amzn.to/3b8LOOI --- Links My GitHub repository: github.com/misterblack1?tab=repositories Commodore Computer Club (of Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington) commodorecomputerclub.com/ Tivoo Pixel Art Display seen in my videos: amazon.com/Divoom-Tivoo-red-Tivoo-Bluetooth-Speaker/dp/B07CV… --- C64 Stuff JaffyDOS: blog.worldofjani.com/?p=3544 C64 Test Harness I use: youtu.be/szSzA6T4Kdw C64 Homebrew cartridge PCB: (used for the DeadTest / Diag Cart I use) ebay.com/itm/Commodore-64-C64-C128-NEW-bare-HomeBrew-DEVelop…
