- Sounds like you might need to adjust the trimmer cap on the
- PC board. The *approximate* location should be almost under
- the semicolon key. Remove the top half of the cover, plug
- the power supply and video cables back in, turn on C-64 and
- adjust cap until color returns. I usually sweep the cap
- back and forth to find out limits of "color lock" and then
- adjust it to the middle of the range.

- Hope this helps,
