Followup post on: Another c64 and 1541 boxed
Went to see Ruben in Arnhem, he was selling it on Marktplaats, I was interest because he said it was a really nice looking set, boxed and complete. Just offered something topping the current highest bidder (over 85 euro). It better be good… Agreed with him that I could test, so I went there with a monitor, power saver, test cartridge, spare power supply and some disks with games. I was prepared 🙂
He was working in his studio, young guy, found the boxed set while cleaning the house of his grandmother, and took it with him, to sell. In his studio he was building loud speakers and repairing light mixers…and was looking forward to have some beers tonight of the money he would be making.
Bad luck and I guess no beers.
Bad PLA. Bad SID. I couldn’t test the 1541 at all. Decided to leave it there..I’ve got enough repairs waiting at the moment. Both boxes were not in excellent shape. Hopefully he will honest…and sell it as broken….!
