Hey William,

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.

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.
