 Three out of four Plus/4's rebuilt!

I was tired of having my NTSC Plus/4's partially-working or non-working. So, I brought four of them to C= technician Ray Carlsen for repair. He got 3 out of the 4 up and running perfectly. (The fourth had a bad TED chip and other questionable hacking done by the former owner. I told Ray to keep it for parts.)

All of the repaired ones have been modded with a round DIN power input so that common C64 p.s's can be used, internal Computer Savers have been installed to prevent over-voltages, and aluminum heatsink plates have been attached to the chips. In one, he even installed a fan inside the casing. Sweet! A pic of that last one is at

Going to the ViC 64 club of Victoria, B.C. tonight,
