C64c – old board edition – mint

30 December 2017

Last addition to my collection this year. Just posted on Marktplaats, previous owner Peter from Zevenaar was selling his childhood Commodore. Within half an hour after the ad appeared I bought it for 50 euro’s, and did a quick pickup.

Although the cardboard box is missing, the Commodore itself is in a very good condition (and the warranty bill included) and came with a unbroken seal. Tested ok at home. Nice. Not much included, just the Commodore. I can remove this edition now from my wishlist then.

I already had one, but the housing had a reset button and there was some yellowing. Will sell that one on Marktplaats next week.

This early 64C edition came with the older “breadbox” main board,, after his release Commodore went further in cutting costs and used the smaller/newer main boards. Main difference is the use of the older keyboard type (where the characters are printed both on top as on the front, the newer keyboards they are printed on the top only). To check which motherboard there is you can check the cartridge port, there is the main fuse of the board. If you see the whole fuse, it’s the old board, if you just see the top of the fuse it is the newer board)
