The latest addition to my Commodore collection. NO, it isn't one of the VERY rare golden Commodore 64's, although I have given it a new coat of gold paint to make it look like one! This C64 was in bad shape - the case was badly marked, and the computer would not even power up. The original owner was going to throw it in the bin, but I was lucky to grab it before that happened, along with a good working C64C. Thanks to a spare C64C motherboard which I had lying around, a C64C keyboard and SID 8580 chip, I've been able to bring life back to this wonderful machine. It now works perfectly and looks quite snazzy too.
I have no intention to pass this off as a golden C64 - for a start, it's pretty obvious it isn't a real one (if you know what you are looking for), but it does look nice, especially next to my black painted C64C.
