    I was still running the Commodore C64 back in 84.

    But not anymore? :) I'm typing this on a breadbin right now.
    This board looks pretty nice in StrikeTerm2014.

    Soon!

    I still have several C64's. Just before the pandemic, I had a full system setup but then had to break it all down to set up my home office for work. As soon as I retire, that space is going to be reclaimed for MY needs. T minue 165 Days and counting.

    That being said, one of my first tasks once the office space is clean and I have more bench space in the garage, is to build up a couple of power supplies for my C64's. Only one right now, and a Carlsen 'saver' just in case, but I wantr to be able to have more than one online at a time.
    Heck, I may just break down and buy a couple of Ray Carlsen P64's just to prep.

    I definitely recommend either getting a modern PSU or one of those USB-C adapters (which are cool as heck). That one you mentioned is great, but I've got the ones from c64psu.com. I wish the USB-C things were available when I needed em ;). Just about anything is better than the original PSUs, though.

    USB-C? How do you get 9VAC 60hz out of one of those?
