5V DC Voltmeter for Commodore C64, C128 & VIC-20 — cassette-port plug-in, factory-calibrated

Plug this compact 5 V DC voltmeter into the CN2 cassette/Datasette port to read the exact 5 V rail directly on the mainboard. It is factory-calibrated with a precision reference for accurate measurements, features a pass-through connector so your Datasette stays connected, and a bright LED display with optional display-off to keep your retro setup dim. Perfect for checking and adjusting PSU output to protect key C64/C128/VIC-20 chips (SID, PLA, CPU) from over-/undervoltage.

Commodore C64/C128/VIC-20 voltmeter device by Electroware

Our voltmeter is a complete 5 V DC rail meter compatible with Commodore C64, C128 and VIC-20. Unlike PSU-side OLED readouts that always show a fixed “5.01 V”, this tool measures the voltage where it matterson the computer mainboard, after the cable and power switch drop (which vary by model and unit). Accurate, repeatable, factory-calibrated, and ready to use via the CN2 cassette/Datasette port.

HOW TO USE IT?

Plug the device into the CN2 cassette/Datasette port. The pass-through connector preserves all signals so you can keep your Datasette connected inline. A bright LED display shows the voltage clearly and can be switched off to keep your retro setup dim. Each unit is factory-calibrated against a precision reference. If you ever need to re-calibrate, a trim potentiometer is accessible through a small hole on the back.

It’s the perfect companion for Electroware adjustable PSUs, letting you watch the live 5 V rail while you trim the output. No more juggling a multimeter and a screwdriver at once — simply adjust the PSU to the recommended 5.00 V at the mainboard and protect key chips like SID, PLA and CPU from over-/undervoltage.
