Josh: I'm guessing it's less a matter of it being broken, more that
the Commodore PSUs have a terrible reputation for reliability and can
often fail in such a way that the computer gets damaged along the way.
Adam: A few people in Toronto did do a group buy on Sav64s a while
back to save on shipping, maybe more people are interested?
I've heard good things about the Ray Carlsen PSU, but don't have one.
(I personally use a C128 power supply with an adaptor box I built way
back to work with the 64.)
Cheers,
-Leif

Do you really need a new power supply? I recently had issues with my power
supply, turned out it was just a bad connection at the connector. I ripped
it apart and resoldered, now it's working great!

Subject: [torontocbm] New PSU for C64
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a Canadian-friendly manufacturer who produces new PSUs
for the C64 or at the very least a "power saver"? I know Ray Carlssn in the
States gets excellent reviews but with the crappy dollar, shipping costs,
and customs fees, I was hoping there was somebody analogous here in the
Great White North.
Thanks!
