In this video, I do some future proofing and preservation work on the "Thundercats Commodore 64" from the last video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mPYfiWU_Pw). Includes Recapping, heatsinking and repairing the case.

UPDATE: You can now order the C64 case repair kits from Jeff's website here: https://www.soigeneris.com/commodore-64-caser-saver-repair-kit
