About Our Service

How It Works

Is your Commodore 64 sick, dying or dead? Do you get a dark screen when you turn on your old C64? It's probably not dead, It may  just needs a bit of attention, a good clean-out and a new chip or two.

If you're thinking this is going to be an expensive fix, then think again. Because we have a wealth of knowledge and a heap of replacement parts we are able to offer a fixed price service, clean and repair. Some of the C64's chips can be quite expensive to buy separately and if you're not sure what you're doing, you can end up doing more damage to the poor old 64 than it's starting with.

The much renowned SID chip could cost you £25 to replace alone, and that's just one of many in the machine. Shipping back to you of your working, cleaned up and serviced Commodore is included in the fixed price.

We'll also send you a diagnostics report and 30 point check list of the work carried out.

When we repair the machine, where we think necessary we will also change the electrolytic capacitors and heatsink the PLA, CPU, SID and VIC-II  as part of the service, at no extra cost!

We use high quality parts such as Genuine Panasonic capacitors & modern replacement SID Chips* (Subject to availability)

In the case where we can't repair your machine, this does happen, we will send you your machine back with a fully refurbished, fully tested working motherboard.

The costs for international shipping (in both directions) is very expensive, the shipping costs alone would be more than the actual cost repair, and as such we can only offer this service to UK customers.

Please note: Repair to "Silver Label" Commodore 64's is not offered under this service. Repairs and chip replacements can only be offered to standard UK specification C64 and C64c machines.
