Commodore VIC-20 Computer Restored, Recapped, Fully Tested, Dust Free. NTSC

Description

Electrolytic capacitors wear/dry out over time, especially ones over 30 years old, so replacing them prevents the most common failures and prevents additional damage from occurring, it is for this reason that I replace these capacitors in all Commodore hardware that I sell.  Any MOS logic chips, other than the custom video generator or other customer chips have been proactively replaced.
The plastic case pieces have been meticulously scrubbed and cleaned.  System board has been fully cleaned of any grime from age and excess flux from the original manufacturing removed. Dust free!  60 day returns for any reason, with no cost on return shipping (Domestically in the US).  Buy with confidence.
Why do I test for 24 hours? I've seen a lot of Commodore computers pass testing fine and then around hours 8-14 something will fail, the system will lock-up, etc.  Sometimes this requires a few days to track down what is an intermittent failure.  The computer might appear to be fine most of the time under, but then fail seemingly randomly on occasion.  Thus, I take extra time to ensure that everything is running 100% before listing.
Computer only.  No power supply, cables, controllers etc.
Note on power supplies:  This VIC-20 has the original design, where it has a 2 prong 9V AC connection.  The original Commodore power supplies are usually fine, as the danger with the C64 ones is the regulated 5V.
Computer has been completely torn down, new capacitors installed, cleaned and reconditioned. System has been burned-in tested for 24+ hours and passed testing afterward. Plastic case parts have been taken apart, scrubbed, soaked, scrubbed again and dried to remove all contaminates and dust from use prior to reassembly.  See pictures for detail. All parts have various scratches, blemishes and cosmetic deviations, to be expected of hardware of this age. None of the cosmetic flaws affect performance.”
