The great resin case and the beautiful label make the WiC64 a special and high-quality device. Thanks to the excellent support (even after delivery) from the seller, I have a lot of fun with this great device.
It is a bit pricey compared to the still widely available original CIAs but the price points will cross someday and it is nice to finally have a replacement for those chips.
Also absolutely necessary for those building C64s without Commodore components.
So when is the J-CPU ready? :-)
Ho preso il kit per la rev. 250407 di tipo Round Pin. Sono molto utili se dovete riparare o cercare guasti facilmente. Arrivano in tipo delle canaline, sono di buona fattura e a buon prezzo.
This kit for the Rev 250466 was almost complete, had to to put a few used parts in besides the larger IS's. Watching Jan Beta's video helped also in completing and making a functioning build. One thing the kit thought is the resistor located at C42 on the parts kit bill of materials is marked as a 82R grey, black, red, gold. But the actual resister is a 82R grey, red, black, gold. had me stumped for a bit. If its a typo guys, you may want to fix it. I have since ordered another kit 250407. Love building these boards, keeps me entertained in my retirement years and still learning things.
Je suis super content de l'excellent travail de Martijn ! Les soudures sont très belles et les couleurs des composants harmonisées. Du travail de pro ! Super communication également. Je conseille vivement cette prestation !
I'm super happy with Martijn's excellent work! The welds are very beautiful and the colors of the components harmonized. Professional work! Great communication too. I highly recommend this service!
It's becoming increasingly rare to find high quality New Old Stock components for this aging system.
I can't say enough about the quality products and high quality customer service here.
No question I'll be a repeat customer
Excellent Service! I am very happy with this product and it is a fantastic low cost replacement for the C64 Tv Modulator.
Easy to fit (soldering required).
Came with pin headers and pin sockets to make removal and fitting easy.
Even got a free commodore badge =)
A very complete and well organized bill of materials. This includes many parts that are difficult to find elsewhere. It's much easier to purchase from a single-source, rather than having to purchase individual parts separately from multiple suppliers. My parts appear to be very high quality.
Good quality parts (I opted for the Frako Golds), the different component packages are clearly labelled, no complaints here - very noob friendly. Definitely well packaged.
Nice precision round-hole IC sockets and the 4164 RAMs I received are new-old-stock TIs, not junk pulls or no-name garbage. The rocker-switch for power on/off is also NOS, it fits perfectly without the need to bend any legs, as some replacement switches require.
Be aware that the parts kit is for PAL systems, this is what I wanted so I was happy but it might be useful to others if this was noted, or if there was an option for NTSC systems.
Shipping to Canada was very expensive (and slow, blame Covid) for so small a package but he only charged his actual cost (postmarked on the package), there weren't any extra "handling" charges.
Overall I highly recommend this kit for those, like myself, who yet lack to confidence to source the parts individually elsewhere. It's also beneficial to get everything shipped from one place as opposed to sourcing from different vendors and getting bent-over for multiple shipments.

Great kit, and just as great purchase and support experience! Makes the process of gathering the components needed for a build that much easier. :)

How awesome is it to find a new old stock VIC-II for a 38 year old machine? My parts arrived in excellent condition, as always. Top job guys!

The PLAnkton works flawlessly in my C64 build. It's a neat little device and the manufacturing quality is of high industry standard.

Ordering so easy, choose the pack you need, parts are packaged with labels and arrived in a good time frame, highly recommended for your retro parts
