Hi All,
After watching various Tezza videos I started my classic computer collection. My aim is to get all of the classic computers that I used when I was a kid. One of the classic computers I used was a Commodore SX-64. I recently purchased one from TradeMe. The seller posted "Was working when last turned on" however as soon as I got it it was faulty. As I have only ever seen this one I didn't push for my money back.
The seller informs me that this is from the private collection of Graeme Duffy. I don't know if that name means anything to anyone here.
Anyway, on to the fault. When I turn it on it looks to work but very quickly develops vertical lines in the display. If I turn it off and then on again the screen no longer shows the OS but instead shows random colours all over the screen. If I give it time it will repeat the same symptoms.
The seller informs me that he spoke with his dad (Graeme Duffy) who suggests that it is either ram or the Power Supply.
Although I have done small repairs to my Apple IIe computers, given the rarity of this I do not want to "learn" on it. Therefore I am looking to find someone or a business that feels comfortable and skilled enough to repair it.
Does anyone know where I can take this to for a repair?
Regards,
Dom H
