My C-64 has a USB interface.
It's the one my dad bought in 1984 or so. Imagine the scene:
Me and my brother flew home to West Germany (Rheindahlen) from the UK (Army brats) for the Christmas hols. Dad proudly shows us the new computer and plugged the power into the video input. pop. About two months later we receive the repaired unit from NAAFI. Me and my brother went back to school for the spring term. Mum and Dad had not banked on the C64 as a main Chrimbo pressie for us and gave us other things. They clearly knew well ahead of time how IT will always screw up - they were clearly prescient types.
We absolutely loved it. I wont bore you any more with reminisces but I still have it and it still works.
Capacitors don't evaporate, they swell or blow if dodgy enough - long story, search it ("blown capacitors".)
