I have now Packard Bell with PB88 mainboard (XT clone) which required only dusting and works like a charm. This one is interesting because the mainboard is actually only floppy controller, little RAM, 8 bit slots and RTC. The CPU board plugs like video card :) I had to get the video card from PC XT which has composite video input so I can test that the machine is working on TV. The original video card from this PB carry ATI Canada sticker on the board.

I do the recapping myself, for myself... so the cost if just parts. Capacitors are cheap and I usually order 10 of each at a time so the cost is probably under $5 for each C64.
