Just wanted to update the topic and say the C64 plunger worked great in my Vic-20. Was super easy to install and only required removing a bunch of Phillips head screws and desolder two wires.

Thanks Andy for the offer. I think I want the edition I had when I was younger that had the blue and orange cover.

The number 5 key broke off my VIC when moving the machine. Looks like the black piece, that looks like a plus, broke off in the keycap. From some reading online I need to remove and disassemble the keyboard so I can replace the plunger correct? Any idea where I can buy one? When I look on eBay I onl...

So a while back I'd posted a question about very low audio output from my VIC. Never really figured out what the issue was but have a little more info that someone may know the answer to. I've confirmed with another VIC-20 I just purchased the issue does not happen when using the RF box but only whe...

Thanks for your help by the way

I fired up my VIC-20 today after its long hibernation from the 1980's and it produces video, shows the cbm basic v2 message but never shows the cursor to begin typing. I've opened it up and reseated the keyboard connection but this seems unlikely to be the issue since I never get the blinking cursor...
