Commodore at the Los Angeles Maker Faire 2023

On April 1, 2023 the Los Angeles Maker Faire happened at the L.A. Historic Park.  The Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network had a couple of tables there under our alias, Classic Los Angeles Computers (CLAC).  Over 22,000 people attended the event, and hundreds visited our booth.  On exhibit we had a Commodore Amiga 600, THEC64 replica computer, an original Commodore 64, an Atari 800XL, and an Atari 2600 game console.  The crowd of parents, teenagers, and children were very happy playing the games and music off the machines.  See the photos below.  Pictures by Robert Bernardo and Jerold Kress.

Some custom power supplies from Ray Carlsen

I got Ray Carlsen to build me a custom, heavy-duty VIC-20CR/C64/C128 power supply and a custom, heavy-duty Amiga external power supply. Digital meter? Bah! VU meter... yes! 🙂
