Be sure to check prices ahead of time. I have had both my 64 and 1541
repaired, and both times, RCA gave me the most expensive "over the phone"rr
estimate.

It appears that RCA does "board swaps", and doesn't acyually fix YOUR
board.

 There are many independent "approved by Commodore" repair shops that
 charge alot less than RCA.
