Title: Just got a Commodore computer, a C64C
Post by: lwizardl on March 26, 2016, 04:29:56 pm
Just got this beauty in the mail thought others might enjoy seeing this. It was from the UK so they have way more games on cassettes then we ever got here in the usa. Probably the best $60 I have ever spent

These are the original pictures from the listing.

That looks sick. I had a VIC20. But the C64 looked bad ass.

Now one thing you may want to consider, heatsink your SID chip whilst it's running, it's the chip that fails mostly in my experience.

It's the 6581 MOS.  If you lose sound, or partial sound, this is the chip that is failing, it's socketed so it's childs play to replace.

If yours goes, head to ali express, don't pay ebay 4 x prices (from me ;-)  ). Wait a few weeks and get from China for £5 shipped.

Probably the best $60 I have ever spent

You paid $60 for all that?? Great haul, what the hell, I would have paid more *just* for the C64C. Love that design. I have a breadbox C64, wanna trade? :)
