My C64C arrived today. She needs some TLC but I think this will turn out to be a nice decent machine. It came with all the original stuff, all the paperwork/books etc as well.
List of jobs I want to do:
1. Find a Enter key with spring (can someone PM if they want to sell one please?)
2. Speak to Merlin about some Retr0bright. The case has no marks at all, it has the warranty sticker intact and the logo on the bottom still has the protective film on it. So with a clean this will look awesome.
3. Google around to see how I can run this, has a tape deck for now but I need to look into a disk drive or maybe you can run a CF card or HDD? I am unsure and not researched yet.
4. I have all the bits coming to set her up beside the miggy on my 22inch widescreen monitor.
5. All sorts of hardware addons I can find an afford.
I am quite happy with my Amiga's atm so I think this C64C will get some proper attention.
It is missing the 3d glasses, are these standard or anything, what colours? It comes will all the 3d games so wouldn't mind testing this side out. Also what joypads do these like? don't seem to like my megadrive one to much. (Fixed this seems I didn't have the pad pushed in enough)
Had it all tested out, straight away I remembered to hold down shift then run/stop to load instead of typing Load. The music during loading was awesome. Brings it all back this. WIP this machine, I want to get it back to its prime with easy game loading options.
Outer box is tatty, but the inner box and poly's are in great condition.
