I picked up 2 C-64s at an estate sale recently.  Before using them, I tested
the power supplies.
One worked fine.  The other was certainly bad.

It's definitely hit and miss on the power supplies.  But "real" C-64s are only
getting more and more rare and I'd hate
to see one die because of a poor power supply.
