The original Commodore 64 PSU is the number one cause of system failure. After 40 years, many of them become unstable and unsafe. Our mission is to give C64 and VIC-20 users a reliable, modern replacement power supply that protects their valuable hardware.
The Electroware C64 PSU delivers clean, filtered 5V DC (up to 4.0A) powered by an industrial-grade AC/DC module and true 9V AC (1.1A max) provided by a classic heavy-duty linear transformer. All electronics are enclosed in a compact, durable case with professional molding for proper ventilation, mechanical protection and electrical safety.
The 5V DC output has been upgraded to 4.0A – making it compatible with C64-to-C128 adapter cables.
