Commodore 64 Computer In - With Box

You are bidding on a Commodore 64 computer (main unit and box only - no power supply), serial number P01635880, motherboard assembly number 250407. This is a breadbin that is in excellent cosmetic condition, the box is in great shape as well. The box serial number matches the computer's.  This machine had a bad VIC chip and some bad memory when I picked it up. I replaced the defective IC's, and the machine is now back in perfect working condition! The case and keyboard are in... excellent shape with some minor scuffs and yellowing as shown in the photos, and everything is functioning well. This machine includes a later model 6567R8 VIC chip, which has an excellent picture quality. The SID is original 6581 chip.
I put a lot of time into my Commodore refurbishes, and take the following steps with each one:All socketed chips are removed, sockets treated with Deoxit cleanerCase, motherboard, and components are thoroughly cleaned Sockets installed for any previously unsocketed chips that need to be replacedFitted aluminum heat sinks applied to chips that need them - PLA, SID, and VICKeyboard is disassembled, each key is individually washed, full keyboard reassembled and tested for functionalityComputer is tested using a diagnostic cartridge and harnessI spend a few hours playing retro games, and making sure that everything works well - I test with a 1571 floppy, an SD2IEC, and a Backbit cartridgeI love repairing and updating these computers, and you can check my feedback for examples of prior sales. Note that the sale does not include a power supply - you will need to provide one. I highly recommend NOT using original Commodore power supplies, as these are prone to failure and regularly lead to frying good machines. I do not ever use or test with original Commodore power supplies. Please feel free to send me a message with any questions, and thanks for looking!
