Hi All, final update: it was the CPU, fortunately it was temperature sensitive, so when cold it would take a few minutes to show the fault. So cooling the various chips with compressed air just showed the real culprit. It's my first broken 8500 and also the only 8500 spare was used to fix the C64C :/ However, the Lunatico demo still freezes when pressing F8 from the Note and VSP tool, but runs fine when started directly. All other freezing programs now work fine. Puzzling...

Putting in a freezer car and checking if you get a repeatable freeze state when it happens may also help.
