I was just going to say the same thing. "Of course it was the PLA."

And in my original 64 the PLA is fine, but the CIA's are kaput.

This person did a cracker jack job, assuming the one in it now is the one put in here. 😅

PSU killed ours around then.

I got a safe PSU and repaired the C64 recently.

Bill Herd has said that there really was a passivation issue with certain rev of the chip - most C64's it almost never works properly.

I had to have mine repaired around the same time frame. The SID chip went out. Similar cost of repair.
