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:

Original RED Power LED cable for breadbin C64
- Original red Commodore 64 power LED with cable, plug and original grommet
- Also used in VIC 20
- Includes the original black fitting grommet
- Not suitable for the later white C64C since that uses a rectangular LED
- Note: Cable is approx 25CM long - some versions of the C64 (GS, Aldi) require a longer cable - please check.
- I also have new LED cables with red, green or blue LEDs - please see the C64 mods section.

Power socket - 7 pin DIN - for Commodore 64 KU-14194 HB & Assy 326298 *New*
- Important: This type has the anchoring pins 10mm apart. It is suitable for very early boards such as the KU-14194 HB and Assy: 326298. It is not suitable for the common later boards which have the anchoring pins ~5mm apart. Please see this photo for comparison.
- Brand new.
Replacement A/V plug (5 pin DIN) for Early Commodore 64
- Brand new 5-pin DIN plug for EARLY C64 PCB A/V sockets (later types all have 8 pins)
- Note: This 5-pin DIN will also actually fit the later 8-pin sockets, but you'll be limited to composite video only since the Chrominance signal is on pin 6.
Replacement A/V plug (8 pin DIN) for Commodore 64
- Brand new 8-pin DIN plug for all but the earliest C64 A/V sockets (early machines have a 5 pin socket)
- Horseshoe pin arrangement so not suitable for Spectrum 128s, see the relevant section for those.

RF TV Modulator for "breadbin" C64 - PAL version *Salvaged*
- Original salvaged unit, part number will be MD6-UE3E603, 251025-03 or 251697-02 - all are compatible.
- Tested: RF output good (little grain, waviness or flaring) AV pass-through also test 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)
RF TV Modulator for C64C *PAL version*
- Original salvaged unit, part number will be 251916-03 or 252405-03. (252405-03 has the sound band switch accessible on the back, 251916-03 has the switch inside with an access hole on the top - both models are interchangeable.)
- Tested: RF output good (little grain, waviness or flaring) AV pass-through also test 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 breadbin C64 (these used a larger modulator, please see my other listings)
Serial / IEC Disk Drive connector (6 pin DIN socket) *NEW*
- Brand new C64 serial port PCB socket
- Also used on the CBM +4 and VIC20
Audio / Video socket : 5-pin DIN for early breadbin Commodore 64s
