$340 Commodore 64C Family Pack

Posted on by Graham

This was a gifted by a Rotarian. Sale proceeds will go to the Rotary Foundation.

Commodore 64C – Nice cosmetic condition.  A little yellow on the rear panel and backs of keys.  Loads up games.  Sounded and looked good with my monitor and cable. No manual

Diagnostic cart identified faults with 6526 U2 6581 U17 and Control Port.  Sound test sounded fine. Joystick test program showed ports, joysticks, and paddles working fine.  I have not noticed any issues in use. 

Power Supply – works. 

1541 Disk Drive – passes Commodore performance test and loads games.  A few small cable “melts” on the case. Includes box, cable, and manual.

Datasette – it would detect titles but would not start loading.   Includes box and manual.

Accessories, games, and boxes including:

  • 2x Joystick – One with a homemade replacement cable.
  • Paddle set
  • Cartridges: Le Mans, International Football (both worked for me)
  • Tapes: Armchair Cricket, America’s Cup, SWAT, Desert Hawke (I only got SWAT to load)

RF Cable but no other video cables

Does not include monitor.

Pending collection.

Sold as-is.  Pick-up from ARC meet or Cockatoo Valley. Payment by cash.

  • Mac OSX 10.1 & MacOS 9.2.2 installed
  • 320MB RAM
  • 9GB hard disk

The PRAM battery was replaced a few years ago, but I think it probably needs another new one.

Speakers are a bit scratchy. CDROM eject unreliable.

Some small scrapes and scratches as befitting 20+ year old machine.

(Pending) Monitors for Sale

Posted on by Graham

Cash only. Pickup from ARC meet or Cockatoo Valley. Sold as-is.

$30 IBM 17″ LCD 6734-AC1

$75 Apple Studio Display (LCD) 15″ M2454

Kickstand is good. Note: Powered from video card – apple specific connector. Good for many G4 and G5 models.

$30 each. 2x JVC CRT 25cm PAL/NTSC Monitor TM-A101G

1x RCA/BNC adapter included. No power cable.

These monitors expect compliant signals. They have struggled to sync with some of my older stuff but work. As a guide, syncs fine with Apple IIe, C64, Exidy Sorcerer, Compaq Portable, Osborne Executive, Microbee. I’ve never tried NTSC.

Buying & Selling etc

Posted on by Graham

I regularly buy and sell machines and peripherals. This is not a profit making activity for me; it’s just an important part of managing my hobby.

The temptation is to acquire an ever greater number of machines, but i only have so much space. I now sell/give as much as i buy/acquire. It’s not a profit making venture. I try to recover my costs, but that’s not always possible. In this hobby we have to accept that sometimes we pay for the entertainment value of constructing, restoring or embellishing a machine.

I will post items that are for sale on this site, but i would rather sell low than go through the hassle of postage. Typically, i prefer pickup either at my shed (Cockatoo Valley SA) or at a monthly ARC meet (Unley SA).
