This kit includes all the following capacitors:

51pf Axial (X1)     [C38]   

68pf  (X1)     [C153]

150pf (X1)     [C204]

220pf (X1)     [C205]

390pf Axial (Subbed For Radial)     [C23]

470pf (X6)     [C10,C11,C150,C151,C152,C154]

1nf (X1)     [C37]

1.8nf (X2)     [C48,C93]

100nf (X36)

220nf (X1)     [C58]

4.7nf (x1) replaces C38 for the Resore key mod/fix. This is completely optional and I will explain more about that a little later.

This kit is based on my Rev. A so I'm not a hundred percent sure it's the same for Rev. B but if you have one please let me know :)

All capacitors supplied are 50 volt with 10 percent tolerance.

All supplied in labelled bags for convenience and ease of use.

If you like this kit but have a different board revision then please let me know. I plan to make this kit for all board version but Commodore haven't made it easy by having 5 different "longboard" versions used in the breadbin style cases and one other version, mainly found in the later C64C models, revision E. On top of that, nearly all versions has at least two revision.

A few years ago I bought a 1985 C64 on eBay sold as "non working but tried all sorts to fix it" so I took a chance on it because it was cheap. I noticed it had several cracked or broken 100nf disc capacitors, especially around the edges of the board where the board had been turned upside down and was leaning on the capacitors as work was done. I also noticed that the protective coating on the 100nf caps was flaking off, probably due to moisture ingress over the years. I also noticed on heating them to remove them that they weren't dipped in wax like the majority of disc capacitors are which might be the reason for the moisture ingress. I decided to replace all the 100nf caps with the more modern MLCC type (I personally don't like the cheap Chinese disc caps) but it made the rest of the original disc caps stand out and since there weren't that many of them left I decided to replace them all, which is how I came up with this kit.

Restore key mod/fix:

If you find it annoying that the Resore key has to be pressed a lot harder than all the other keys then replacing C38 with the 4.7nf capacitor will fix the issue and make it as easy to respond as all the other keys. C38 looks like a green resistor but it's a capacitor. The 9th picture shows what it looks like and on this board there are two ways to install the new capacitor.

The 10th picture shows it fitted in an axial style like the original but you will need to have the capacitor slightly to the right so that if it's knocked, it won't short out against the middle solder pad.

The last picture shows the capacitor installed in the more traditional radial style, soldered into the middle and right pads with the left one either filled in or left empty.

Board used for illustrative purposes only and isn't included, it's just to give you an idea of how the kit looks installed, hopefully with better soldering results than I managed with my underpowered soldering iron.
