Commodore 64 Rescue Project Continues - U2 6526 Chip - Dave Bradley - Episode 514 - C64 C-64

I have been tied up with other matters, but have been wanting to get back to this Commodore 64 to see what ails it...and all indications were that it was U2 or one of the 6526 Complex Interface Adapters. But alas, it was not in a socket...so...time to heat up the iron(s)! Thanks so much for dropping in and having a look! Comments and questions are welcome! Very welcome! Yes, I know the smoke detector is still beeping...and that my soldering needs work! ;)
