Connectors for the Commodore 64
Most of the port sockets on the C64 motherboard are now very difficult - if not impossible - to find new so those listed below will have been salvaged (carefully desoldered by myself and cleaned ready for refitting.)
(The standard chip sockets are of course brand new.) Products:

- Tested: RF output good (grain, waviness or flaring are minimal) AV pass-through also tested and working.
- Note: These are not re-capped but I have capacitor kits for these if required.
- Due to their size, modulators are in the "small parcel" category so postage may be higher than expected within the UK (it doesn't make a lot of difference when sending overseas however)
- Cannot be used in the later C64C (these used a smaller modulator, please see my other listings)
