IIRC the epoxy made them prone to overheating, plus they were so
underpowered that you couldn't upgrade a C-64 much without overtaxing
the PS.

Suddenly I'm reminded of the horrid stock
Commodore power bricks
where the whole brick is epoxy. I went to a lot of effort to dig
up a good 3rd party brick for my C-64 that can be easily worked on.

Odd, the C128 and A500 bricks are easily opened an serviced. I seem
to recall that the C64 brick broke easily, perhaps Commodore got a
lot of complaints from service shops.
