Next up from my VIC 20 spares: a BROKEN early PET key / paper label VIC 20. Issues:
All main chips (VIC, CPU, CIAs) have been briefly tested and found to be working in other VIC 20s (hence the ticks in the photos) and all appear to be original chips based upon date codes. No PSU, modulator, cables or anything else included. As an older machine it needs the early 2-pin PSU style, not a C64 style power supply.
Photos attached.
Asking £40 (less than I paid for it!) including UK postage as it needs a lot of work. I've had this one sitting around long enough to know that I'm not going to get around to it but it's an early machine that someone should attempt to save.
Open to sensible offers and you may also collect (from Wokingham, Berkshire).
- No video output
- Missing kernal ROM (still no video output with a known good ROM in place)
- Keyboard barely works - most keys don't respond at all when tested on another known good VIC 20, some respond part of the time after a few presses
- No wires attached to shift lock key
- It's rather yellowed and has some scuffs and scratches
- Someone has used screws that were too long at some point in the past and has punctured the bottom of the case in 2 places
