In that case replace them all and see what happens. :)

Apparently the memory is more likely to fail if the electrolytic capacitors have dried out, and there's more ripple on the 5volt rail..

so, before I do anything, I'm going to replace the electrolytic caps in the three "good" C64's and powersupplies ;)

Cool, you can get a new replacement drive from Vesalia, I got one for my 500+ and it works great.

Good Idea, I got a RevC Blue for my a500 but I need to solder on a connector block to relocate the buttons and make up a cable for the buttons and display so currently it's just hanging out of the a500 case. :D

Works really well tho and im very happy with it.

btw, I found a replacement SID on fleabay for about $30, make sure you get the right one, 6581 is the correct one for the original colour BreadBin models.

I'm going to pull the SID out of the dead machine, along with the memory, so hopefully I end up with 3 fully functional C64's, although I'd be happy with two ;)

Replaced the four capacitors in two of the C64's, one was the fully functional, the other has the bad ram.

Fortunately both these boards had the provision for a radial capacitor, instead of the original axial... The board with the bad SID (thats soldered, not socketed) is of course going to create more issues for me, as it isn't the same... :p

Very cool. I should do this for my collection of c64's before they give trouble. Where did you get the replacements from?

Anywhere that sells capacitors? :p
These came from Jaycar, there was someone on ebay selling a "set" of replacement capacitors and voltage regulators too.
