The original but not the best. The first C64 boards that Commodore made suffer from a number of issues - cooking voltage regulators, no s-video, poor composite, and some compatibility issues.

In this video we will remedy all those and do it without any irreversible changes, just 4 resistors and a few bits of wire is all that's required.
