I was having a little trouble working on my Commodore SX-64, trying to diagnose a blank screen, so I needed to attach the Commodore 64 to a TV. Unfortunately, with these retro computers, the cables seem to vanish into the dustbin of history. So, to fix my borked Commodore SX-64, I needed to hack together a DIY Commodore AV cable. This 5-pin DIN AV cable is compatible with all Commodore models as well as the Atari 800 series and TI-99/4 among others! This video will show you how to DIY a Commodore 64 AV cable with just a few commonly-available components!

My friend Jon Esparza (@jonscrazytweets) discovered a rare Commodore SX-64 while going through his late father's storage unit. Knowing that I was a retro computer enthusiast, he gave me a call to see if I was interested in doing something with it. So of course I took a road trip to south San Diego to see this "Commodore laptop" in person (and get some bomb tacos)! Jon was kind enough to let me take this Commodore SX-64 off his hands and see if I could get it in any better shape than it's currently in. This is going to be a rough Commodore restoration, so be sure to stay tuned for the next installment!
