  1. Testing the new #JCPU in my #Commodore #C64GS clone.
    So far it works like a charm.🥳
    Only one chip missing from a 100% new parts system (eproms don't count, lol). Can you spot it?

  6. This build is a little special to me because I helped Rob Taylor find mistakes on the #Sixtyclone PCBs and he put my nickname on the silkscreen 🥹 (I’m TheBrew). #Commodore #C64

  7. Got the replacement for the wrongly sized "@" keycap. Jim apparently watched my video about the new #Commodore keycaps, contacted me before I could even send an email and immediately shipped replacements. He also included a "K" because mine had a little paint spot (which I didn’t even see but he noticed it in the video). Now my #Sixtyclone #C64 looks just perfect!

  8. The #JCIA chips have arrived today from retro8bitshop.com and I installed them in the #SixtyClone after work.
    They work like a charm and my #C64GS is now made from 99% new parts.

  13. I proudly present the first #Commodore64 Games System made from 95% new parts.🥳​
    (except CIAs and the SuperPLA)
    Featuring a #SixtyClone mainboard, monotech CPU replacer, VIC-II Kawari.

  14. Ordered the #SixtyClone version, an awesome reproduction of the short board pcb.

    Pulled the useful items from the older board, ordering necessary parts from Digikey, Mouser and a few more eBay sales.

    Most of the items are now soldered on. Just missing a line filter, power connector, and the cartridge connection.

    Have a new power supply, as the old one appears dead and they are filled with some sort of epoxy so you can’t just repair them.

  15. Modern replacement for the MOS901225 character rom arrived today.
    There are now just 3 modern replacements missing from my #SixtyClone.
    The two CIAs and the Sharp SuperPLA.

  16. Success! At last my #SixtyClone is complete!🥳
    Featuring: MOS CPU replacer, VIC-II Kawari, S-RAM, ARMSID, SmaCK 8701, Line Filter, C0pperdragon.
    All modern replacements for discontinued parts.🕹

  17. More parts arrived and the #SixtyClone is nearly completed.
    Those zif sockets are great even though they cost me a kidney.
    Still missing the RF modulator replacement.
    Someone soldered a wrong cartridge connector to the board...did he though?😉

  18. Adapter boards for the line filter have arrived from the pcb manufacturer.
    Ordered 5, got 16... I'll take it.😁
    This is a modern replacement for a discontinued part on the 250469 #Commodore #C64 mainboard.
    I'll be soldering some spares, if you're in need of one, let me know.

  19. Made some good progress on the #SixtyClone today.
    It's actually starting to look like a #C64 mainboard.🙂
    Still missing the electrolytes, but I have to wait for the low profile zifs to arrive.
    #RetroComputing #retrogaming

  20. Not every brilliant plan in my head turns out to be just that.
    I.e. using zif sockets for all large chips in my #SixtyClone board isn't possible. Also the towers of power of the VIC-II Kawari and the MOS CPU replacer don't seem to be a good idea.🤷‍♂️

  21. Here it is, my 250469 rev. b motherboard replica/remake mounted in the C64G case. Not too shoddy. Nice, clean video from the modulator replacement as well. #c64 #commodore64 #sixtyclone

  22. I'm trying out the new modulator replacement TheRetroChannel made for this, but I'm still waiting for the PCBs. I like the onboard S-Video and audio outputs on that one, it's nice to make use of the holes in the case: github.com/TheRetroChannel/C12

  23. The new Sixtyclone C64 motherboard I started soldering a couple of weeks back is done, all that's missing is the modulator replacement. This is done with parts from my parts bin and broken parts boards, mostly. This is an interesting one, the last revision of the C64 mobo Commodore made, the 469 Rev. B. #C64 #Commodore #Sixtyclone

  24. More parts and the #SixtyClone 250469 mainboard have arrived from Bob Taylor's Tindie store.

    At first I wasn't convinced of the colour, but seeing it in black and gold I must say it's a beauty.😍
    I'm still missing all the small caps, EMs, and small chips as well as all the plug sockets.
    Sadly there are no modern replacements for the 252535 Super PLA and the two MOS6526 CIA chips.

  25. My weekend soldering project: A remake of the last #C64 mobo #commodore ever made, assy 250469 rev. B. This is a #sixtyclone made by Rob Taylor. Not done yet, or even cleaned. I didn't really plan on making this now, so it's all parts from my parts bin and spare boards. Kind of like the row of old brown EMI filter caps I salvaged.
