I miss my C-64. There were games on that computer that have never been matched for the PC--SPACE TAXI! That was so cool. Seven Cities of Gold! Maddening that the power supplies, encased in epoxy resin, were so prone to overheating, and were not repairable. There probably aren't that many working C-64s around anymore. How far we've come since using a cassette tape to store data!

My dad built us an H-89 when I was a young'un and I spent many an hour glued to Wumpus Hunt and Zork....

I've got a box buried somewhere in the bowels of my workshop with ten C-64 power supplies (I threw out the C-64 boxes after cannibalizing them but kept the power supplies for some reason). I bought them as a case lot at an auction a few years ago. All of them still work (confirmed with a meter).

As others have noted, it might be time to do the EBay thing ...
