💥 I picked up a full Commodore 64 breadbin setup for just $75 — and this one’s a project! In this episode of Floppy Deep Dive, I unbox and test everything live:
A yellowed C64 breadbin (won’t boot – black screen!)
A disgusting 1541 floppy drive that sounds like a blender
A pile of original floppies including Impossible Mission, H.E.R.O., RoboCop, Temple of Apshai Trilogy, and more
Classic Atari-style joysticks and paddles
I walk through first impressions, the differences in breadbin case colors, cleaning prep, and the brutal reality of powering it all up. Let’s just say… this haul turned into a full-on restoration project.

🧰 Tools used:
Power Supply: Kevin Autumn's modern C64 brick

🔁 More videos to come as I try to clean, repair, and revive this system. Subscribe to follow the full journey as I (hopefully) bring it back to life!
