I've got another C64C, with its 8580 SID intact and working perfectly, up for sale for you guys to grab.
I thought I'd offer it here on a custom spec done to your convenience.

What do I mean with this? I'll modify it with certain things to make your life easier, for a fee of course. You choose what you want on it and how you want it. Like a Burger King meal, like a Ryanair flight, only ten times better!  tongue
This doesn't include any sort of cosmetic modification though. I am not interested in making such superficial modifications, only hardware mods.

The basic machine comes in its box, a beautiful C64 box in very good state. The machine itself is not very yellowed.
The computer comes with its power supply and ready to get plugged and go.
This basic system price is 35GBP

I also have a datasette if you feel like being a masochist and waiting 3 hours for software to load and data to save. It's boxed and in perfect cosmetic and working condition, tested. Add 10GBP to above and it's yours.

I also got a joystick. You may need that for games and MSSIAH. You want it? Add 5GBP and it goes your way too.


Just look at all this beautiness:




Now, these are the extra things you can have in your very own C64:

- Audio out plugs (split-mono dual RCAs, 1/4" mono phono jack, 1/8" split-mono minijack, etc) - Add 10GBP
- Composite video out (replaces RF modulator. Who uses RF these days anyway?) - Add 10GBP
- S-Video plug (for best quality video out of a C64, ever) - Add 15 GBP
- Audio noise reduction (simple method, as it works best with MSSIAH) - Add 10GBP
- 4 or 2 potentiometer setup for Prophet 64/MSSIAH. - Add 15 GBP for 2, 20GBP for 4
- Reset switch (machine only or also for machine + serial devices) - Add 10GBP

So if you are not the DIY type, clumsy as fuck with a soldering iron or power tools, lazy or just likes convenience, take advantage of this offer and get a ready-to-rock machine delivered to your door, piping hot.

Here are some pics of my own machine to which I applied A/V mods and audio reduction, so you can judge for yourself the quality of the modification:


Audio reduction switch.I am not offering this switch mod because it could make people blow up their SIDs real easy.


A/V mods at a glance.


Revamped RF output into Composite video.


Split-mono audio RCAs and S-Video plug. Now that video port with its weird cable can be sealed away.






Any questions, just shoot me an email at******** Any message sent to my inbox in this site will probably be unwillingly ignored so please use email.

I'd ship anywhere in Europe however keep in mind such charges are RIDICULOUS. Think about 55 GBP alone to ship the machine + joystick + datasette.
Shipping to the US would prove even more of a bitch, but up to you.
Payment is to be done by PAYPAL via GIFT method or as GOODS with fees on your expense.

Tinctu: No, I am not interested in purchasing. I want to sell this. Thanks though, I guess.
Everyone: stop drooling and get buying. Your best chance to have your very own C64C customized to yoru use by someone who knows what's best for music big_smile

if you cover up the commodore thing and change it to nintendo 64 personal computer then people will be more interested.

Nah, most of the people there would probably mod it themselves, if they are arsed to. They are either hackers or purists, nothing in between.
So it goes on teh bays. Buh-bye cm.o!

And here is an old one I never finished, which had pots on it:

If you've still got this one, you really should finish it! I've seen modded c64's like this one (but without the nice paint job) sell on eBay for $400+.
