Video Description
I've had this Commodore KIM-1 for over a decade and have never even once seen one sign of life from it. It has been basically a paperweight (and not a very good one at that!) for a long, long time. Who knows when it worked last? But I have persisted over the years, and thanks to the efforts of many others, finally have a way to potentially fix it. Can I pull it off? Or is too far gone?
