Commodore 64 Silver Label Early Model - With Power Supply
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:7043408 | Model: Commodore 64 |
| Brand: Commodore |
You are bidding on an early-model NTSC Commodore 64, known by collectors as the "Silver Label", for obvious reasons. It is in excellent physical condition. Has been professionally repaired and refurbished. Has the original power supply made by Billion, and is not the type that typically fails. I did have to replace the plug on the end of the power supply though, as the old one was frayed.
Here's a quick tutorial on how to tell if you've got a genuine Silv...er Label C64:1. Both badges should be silver. Nothing like stating the obvious, right?2. On a US model, serial number always begins with 'S000...' The 'S' means silver. Ok, I totally made that last bit up.3. There are 6 tiny narrow clips on the top half of the case rather than 3 long ones.4. Motherboard is Rev. A, part #326298.5. Power Switch body and cartridge port should be green rather than black.6. Sometimes you will even see ceramic RAM chips. This one doesn't have those.
Note that the clips on the top half of the case are unbroken! I've never had a silver label where some or all of these weren't broken, so this is pretty cool. You can see why Commodore changed it...they're so fragile!
I had a lot of fun repairing this C64. You will note that the SID chip and one of the CIAs have been replaced. I also replaced the VIC-II chip because video output was funky. It's still ceramic, but it's a newer version, I think a Rev 8 now. Sorry I didn't get a pic of that. It's also had the 'weak video fix' done, so it has a really nice picture. See the diagnostics pic showing everything passed.
This machine is ready to play, or ready to take a place of honor on your track-lit display case. Whatever you prefer. No box or manual though, sorry. Those are long gone! Oh, I will also include a video cable, as the 5-pin style seems to be a bit rare.
Please ask any questions you may have before you bid. I will guarantee this is working, but under my rules, not Ebay's. If for some reason it is not functional, send it back to me at YOUR expense. Once I've determined that it is undamaged an unaltered, THEN I will refund your money, INCLUDING your return shipping. Sorry to play hardball, but there's just so many dishonest people these days. I will let my feedback stand for my trustworthiness.
Thanks for looking and reading my short novella! Happy Bidding!
