No, not at all. The power connectors are different, it will not mechanically fit.

Even if you cut the end off a c64 power supply and properly wire in a C128 connector, the power supply probably wouldn't last long. Old C64 "brick" power supplies barely handled a stock C64.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Ok, thanks, hm, know where to get a 230v psu then?


Unless you feel like building a custom one yourself, for the time being eBay is your best bet...
