The original black brick power supply, OTOH, was cheap

a 1764 replacement power supply or some aftermarket one.
Wouldn't that be good advice for *anyone* wanting to use a C64?
Recently I was able to pick up a "Phoenix CPS-10" off eBay and the
next day was given a Tenex PS for the C128.
Question on the original black bricks, do all of them have a
Commodore symbol on them, or is the "Recoton" I have a 3rd party
supply? I believe all of my bricks are "Recoton's".
