Silver Label Commodore 64 Repair Saga - This was tough!

This Silver Label Commodore 64 was supposed to be a quick restoration - until it went awry!

We love to restore and explore vintage technology and are also working on completing an assembly language RPG that I started making on the C64 in 1984. At RavenWolf Retro Tech we restore and explore vintage technology from Back in the Day! Now that we have moved into the new shop, the frequency of videos is increasing. I’ll keep putting out videos as I can, but I promise to focus on higher quality videos that don’t waste your time over frequent, low effort projects.
