If not what was the latest motherboard available for the c64 breadbin? (not the c64-g)

Many thanks

Yes! I have one! It was the last board before the 250469 short board used in the C64c.

This was actually used in both the last breadbin casings as well as a number of early C64c casings.

So would that be the white breadbin with white keys or the old with black ones?

Only the old color styles sold in north america and I am in Canada.

The weird colored breadbins only sold in Australia and Europe, AFAIK.

I have a boxed 1986 breadbin with the 'aldi' keyboard and a 250466 in. The serial is something like WGA4xxxxx

I believe this is the motherboard model that I have in my C64G (white breadbox). I don't know if that is normal since I think that most C64Gs had short boards in them?

If it there were c64, c64 c or c64 g shipped with a 250466 would that imply that every component on the motherboard are exactly the same or there are small differences on the motherboard ?

All 250466 should have the same general components although the chips may be from many different vendors (there are many sources of compatible DRAM chips for example). From the information I can find, they should all have a 6510 CPU, R5 VIC-II and 6581AR4 SID. But as with so many other things C=, I would not be surprised if they shipped models with different chips as they were known to just use whatever they had in stock as they were struggling to keep up with demand.
