OK so I have decided to take a vic to work as one or two people remember them so i thought why not bring one and maybe have a go at AVENGER over the lunch break. As I had a tv in the office i decided to connect it all up. http://s1.postimage.org/hhlnsupxb/IMG_0555.jpg A day or so later I decided to ...

I could be wrong but aren't they 12v DC input in which case a quick rewire of an ATX PSU from a PC with a telefunken plug might do the trick. I check if it fits later today.

Nope its 9 Volt AC so you're half way there thats how the 12 volt DC is generated

I am guessing but because of your location you have a PAL VIC20 the 6560 is the NTSC version of the chip and what you need is 6561 which is the PAL version.

No problem Ian
if you gonna sacrifice a CR then try to swap the 6522's if they are socketed...
Let me know how you get on
Good Luck.

but a lot of them overheated as a result and the epoxy made it impossible to replace the caps and regulator
