Building a DIY C64 Power Supply (The Lazy Way)

Описание: I made a simple replacement power supply for my Commodore 64 and my VIC 20 by using a 9V transformer and a pre-made 5V power brick and putting it into a nice case basically.

I kept the "preliminary fuse" of 315mA for the primary but settled on a larger 1.5A fuse for the 5V because 1A is underpowered (and causes problems, especially on the VIC20 which is a bit more power hungry).

ONLY ATTEMPT TO BUILD SOMETHING LIKE THIS IF YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING. MAINS VOLTAGE CAN KILL YOU!

Greisi's PSU is in this video (everything's available for download from the video description, also the pinout of the C64 power connector):    • GWB#1 - Commodore 64 / 1541-II PSU  

Here's the DIN 45329 plug you need: https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Power_S...

Another way to support me (without having to spend any more money than you normally would) is to use my Amazon affiliate links.
If you buy stuff on Amazon, you can use the below links to get to your country’s Amazon site and I will get a small share of what you pay there. You can buy whatever you like and use this link as your regular Amazon link if you want to. The price and everything else stays the same for you. I consider this an okay (and easy) way to give me some support.
