Commodore MAX Machine Bundle - Omega Race, Radar Rat Race - Pre - C64 RARE
Item History & Price
For sale here is a vintage Commodore MAX Machine computer bundle. Including in the auction are the following items:Commodore MAX Machine computer (model MAX-04. Outputs NTSC RF and composite video signals, make sure your TV or monitor is compatible) ManualOriginal power supply (runs on Japanese 100V power, will require a step-down transformer for use in Australia and other 240V countries. Alternatively, standard Commodore 64 power supplies are directly compatible)3.5mm to RCA... audio/video cableOmega Race game cartridgeRadar Rat Race game cartridgeEverything has been tested and is in working order. The MAX itself is in great condition with very few noticeable marks (see photos) and I have modified it for composite video output via the 3.5mm headphone jack. This is a 1 wire mod that is easily reversible if the buyer wants to. Each key on the keyboard has been tested using a BASIC cartridge (not included) and is working correctly.
The Commodore MAX Machine was released in Japan in 1982 right before the Commodore 64. It shares a lot of the C64's DNA, using the same 6510 CPU, 6581 SID sound chip, 6526 CIA chip, and a very similar VIC-II video chip - in fact, it's possible to modify an NTSC VIC-II from a C64 for the MAX. It has no onboard ROM, meaning that powering on the computer without a cartridge in it will show a black screen. Very few of these computers still exist today, don't miss out on this rare opportunity!
