I have had to swap out one of the 6526 CIA ICs on a working C64 of mine. This particular C64 has a special place in my hear; its been to Newcastle, Melbourne and Sydney and has also been played at the opening of the Adelaide Festival of Arts.
So anyway, the 6526 CIA #2 IC seemed to be delivering somewhat corrupt information, so it simply had to be swapped. I happened to have another C64 lying around with a broken SID chip, which I cannibalised for parts.

The donor C64...
The recipient C64...

Mr Recipient doesn't appear to feel too well... Is that rust all over the RF modulator and cartridge cover plate?
Correct, but it sounds and works great now that I've swapped one of the CIAs.
(You should see the shield!)
Well saved!
i hope you wore sanitized gloves and face protection lol.
