Surprise C64 Donation & Repair

Dean aka   / game_whisperer   donated a special Commodore 64 to me without even looking inside (something he usually would do--cf. his Twitter). The honor was upon me to explore the surprises inside and also do some repair work.

CORRECTION: the device I‘m referring to as an ARMSID is actually a SwinSID nano. No idea why I confused the two. Sorry about that!
