Although I've hear some horror stories about CBM power supplies, most of mine have been flawless. I did have one C128 PSU fail for me, but upon disassembly it was obvious the problem was cracked circuit board... almost certain due to "abuse" (it got dropped).
Of course I'm in NTSC land... there seems more reports from PAL countries... maybe 240V is more likely to burn a marginal PSU than 120V? Don't know... just tossing out theories!

Heh, I did not include the C128 p.s., because it is not sealed, and thus it is repairable. I only condemn the sealed, potted-in-epoxy power supplies. I've had too many C64's killed by those sealed p.s.'s. In fact, now that I have the deluxe Ray Carlsen Computer Saver, I use that to test FCUG members p.s.'s. I've saved a few members from having their C64's destroyed by a bad p.s.. Best thing to do with a sealed CBM p.s.? Swing it over your head and slam it into a concrete/asphalt street. Watch it split apart (it might take a few tries). Then save the C64 coaxial side of the power cord and throw away the rest.
