TheRetroChannel | Commodore 64C with a strange mod - restoration Part 1 - EXTENDED VERSION @TheRetroChannel | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
WARNING: The extended version may contain incoherent babbling, foul language, dead air, and foolish mistakes, may also contain traces of nuts (at least one).

We take a look at a C64C 250466 board that claims to have a "blank screen" and a very bizarre modification.
