Hi folks,
I talked about this a little in my welcome posting, but I wanted to show off some Commodores I've been working on. I got a Box of four broken systems and got them all working. I just finished number 3:
This is an original breadbox style C64 with a Commodore 16 keyboard. Well, technically it is parts from a C16 keyboard and two C64 keyboards. Had to do some soldering. Second model of the SID audio chip, first model NTSC VIC-II video chip. New case from Pixel Wizard. The is the SX-64 inspired case, charcoal gray (not black) and silver. Kind of a mix of the old and the new.
And here are the other two for comparison:
The black one is a Reloaded Mk2 with PAL VIC-II, the beige one is a long board C64C with an NTSC VIC-II. I think I have all of the paperwork that came with it originally, too. Even have the Q-Link floppy disk inside that envelope!
The last one I am working on with my friend as it has need of a new power jack. It is a VIC-20, though, so I don't have a source of new cases. Fortunately, the original case is in pretty good condition, so no big deal! When I finish it, I will post that one too!
