<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">With this PC XT I've got few more machines. 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. This could be earliest ATI video for PC market.</p>

<br>
Well.. 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. I don’t generally do RCaaS (ReCapping as a Service) but I'm always happy
to help people keep their childhood systems and memories alive.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">What does it cost to have an old computer recapped? Have an old Commodore 64 and a slightly less old Magnavox Head Start. My son had the Magnavox running about 5 years ago then it suddenly quit working. Probably was around that 20 year
mark someone mentioned when it died.<br>
