One quick fix for wavy screen problems such as that noticed by Lew Mammel
is to simply reverse the AC power cord in the wall outlet.
I believe the c64 has a three-prong plug so it is not advisable to reverse
it, but if the TV/monitor you're using has a two-prong, non-polarized AC power
plug, try unplugging it and turning it around and plugging it in again.

Sometimes it helps tremendously, I don't exactly know why.

I agree with Rob Warnock's assessment the wavy screen problem, which
would suggest that reversing the plug would have no effect.  Still, it
does sometimes do the trick.
