Mint condition Commodores
I'm polishing off my studio-building by buying Ark-era Commies in as fresh condition as possible. The 64c even smells like it's been unused all this time and it's been another great Ebay find.
I'm particularly proud of the Music Maker, looking stockroom fresh right down to the box and stickers, which is excellent for almost 30 years old.
No case and keyboard wear, nor dust, though the 64c won't boot. It also misses its manual and cartridge, though I already have those. The breadbox fares better as it only has a very slight scuff on the back.
Even so, you don't get such conditions cheap any more and I'll be very happy to repair and have both machines run as they should. I may even be able to steam a warranty label off a machine which is a little battered to complete the restoration.
Yup, these are my steam trains alright.

Music and photo graphics possible with 1982-era technology. And I wonder how today's machines will be fondly remembered in three decades, let alone if they'd still be niche-specialist.

And this looks alright as well......

This goes well with the mountain: Music and photo graphics possible with 1982-era technology. And I wonder how today's machines will be fondly remembered in three decades, let alone if they'd still be niche-specialist.
