I went to buy a Commodore Vic 20 also for only $20 (unknown state) and the seller offered to sell this to me for “whatever.” Currently it has a bad power supply, so I’m in the process of figuring that out.
The keyboard doesn’t seem to be feeling that great either.

Did anyone else have a teacher that would tell everyone not to power off their computers and then flip off the breaker to the computer lab? Speaking of bad power supplies…

I used to run the tech for a middle school and had to cover/sub for a lot of classes on year, which also was the same year we were getting deployed new equipment. Anytime I subbed in one of the computer labs, this is exactly what I’d do. It felt so deliciously naughty.

It’ll be the caps. Best of luck! Even for the other parts it is worth a packet more

Unfortunately it has a vintage aftermarket power supply in it. I found a bad transistor so far, the caps seem ok.
