Have boxed VIC and 64 here in my office.
Lovingly looked after all these years.
Came to boot em up the other day. Got power lights on both machines but was unable to get picture - tried a load of different TV's.
Read in the NEW issue of Zzap that MORT suggests changing the fuse in the machine.
Details please - what sort of fuse do I need to get ? Is this easy - or can anyone offer where I can get the machine checked and/or fixed.

Hi Alex,
All you need to do is take the fuse out of the 64 and go to your local Tandys or pc/tv repair shop and they should be able to supply a suitable replacement. When tuning the screen on your tv do you only get snow or a black screen, obviously if you get some sort of signal from the 64 the fuse is not the culprit.
Best of luck

Mort
