Re: My 2-prong DC PSU experiments
Keeping the motherboard untouched is a strong point, I wouldn't remove nor alter anything on the VIC board.
Finding a different connector which, by luck, fits perfectly the larger 2-Prong VIC would be cool.

Re: S-Video conversion possible as plug-and-play solution?
You could try amplifying the Chroma and then 0,1uF/1uF bipolar capacitor plus 470/1000 Ohm resistor between VIC and TV in order to protect the VIC itself. And a 75 Ohm (Chroma to GND) resistor as a final touch. Connecting chroma straight on TV was discouraged several times while testing with the C64...

Re: My 2-prong DC PSU experiments
By the way: tape motor greatly benefits from using DC instead of AC as a source for its final voltage. I've seen that on Datassettes connected to PC for dumping of tapes: Datassette clones seems to work slightly better with VDC instead of VCC... Of course this applies to 1530/1531 C2Ns as well but o...

Re: My 2-prong DC PSU experiments
Very informative thread; I'm currently reading the results of your tests and comparing these to mine. The temperature may be slightly lower comparing 9VAC to 12VDC but the benefits for the regulator (for the simple fact that we are feeding it with regulated DC instead of unregulated DC) are surely i...

Re: For Sale: VIC-20 *2 Prong* Power Supply Modern Replacement
In case of doubt, drop me a PM with a photo of your machine (power connector visible) and I will give to you the correct Power Supply.

Re: VIC20 9v PSU
The purpose is to keep the VIC untouched, so desoldering the original connector will *modify* the machine

Re: For Sale: VIC-20 *2 Prong* Power Supply Modern Replacement
A PC Power Supply has tricky power balance rules which varies from model to model (e.g. older ones requiring a stable load on +5V) so I would not use it.

Re: For Sale: VIC-20 *2 Prong* Power Supply Modern Replacement
The 9VAC from the original 2-Prong PS becomes rectified (unregulated) 12,4VDC. The 6VCC voltage requested by the Datassette motor is sourced by the above mentioned 12,4VDC. In case that 12VDC signal is already regulated (which is the case of the Power Supply object of the thread) I think that this 6...
