I was checking out the links on your main Website last week. I had never heard of Commodre4ever before so checked it out.
I see he makes the ATOM power supply you have. He also claims it makes a better picture than most power supplies. I was skeptical the power supply made a difference in the display. So, I switched back and forth between the Commodore factory supply and the one I made myself. Sure enough, the one I made the display is not quite as good as with the Commodore factory power supply. So I guess his could be even better. I have to looking into that more.
You don't have a Podcast section in your links page. You probably know most of these but I do listen to a lot of Podcasts and in my opinion here are a few good Commodore related ones.
Chicken Lips Radio: The chicken lips refers to the Commodore symbol I guess. Good Podcast. Floppy Days: Covers lots of computer but some Commodore Specific episodes also. The guy is not the best talker, but he has good guests. Retro Computing Roundtable: Covers lots of computers but they often talk Commodore.

Adding podcast links are a great idea.
Thanks.
I suppose a new power supply would help to improve picture quality, but I'm not sure that it makes that much difference. If the old power supply wasn't holding voltage or making electrical 'noise' I bet it would degrade picture quality for sure.
Now I'm curious, if I get some time this afternoon I'll pull out an old brick and try it.

What do you think of thec64 mini ?
Is it useful or just like the Atari flashback, for games ?

I haven't looked this thread for a while, looks like I left a couple questions hanging and some update pictures should be made.
More like a flashback, you can add games/software via usb thumb drive, but without a real keyboard, it's a toy.
I have a bad pinball addiction, I enjoy the cabinet for the old arcade games, another weakness ....
I'm planning to give the cabinet a bit of an overhaul this winter. I got it to working condition, but never finished it.
I seem to have a few projects for this winter.

A new project area !So after a bunch of cleaning up and rearranging, I have set up a new area for me to work on my winter projects. Last year the little table I was using just didn't have enough room, so I put together a big old desk we had and some shelving and the beginning of a play area is coming together. And a look at the desk.
