Building a new C64 in 2020

It's been a weird year. Let's build a Commodore 64 in 2020. Based on one of the now available replica PCBs, I set out to build my own C64 with as many brand new parts as possible. // Kindly sponsored by PCBWay - https://www.pcbway.com - End-of-year special promotion coming in December!
