This thing looks amazing. I need to get my commodores working again and then get one of these.

I think this is a good idea. However, I don't post much either so I can sort of understand 0 post people out there.

I hope something can be worked out with the forum in the future! Would really hate to see it go. It's the number one VIC-20 place to be. Since I'm not to keen on forum-software myself, I hope a donation through Paypal will keep this forum going. I've been using the forum for years but don't post th...

That would sure be nice to have. I wish I could afford it.

I'd kind of like one as dust and humidity are probably its worst enemies. Perhaps will look into them some day.

Unfortunately this is my situation, and even moreso with a kid too

very nice... i wish i could try every game ever made for the vic. it probably would take way too long

Thanks to you all for the tip the screen is now the correct color and looks good. I don't remember it taking as long to get the screen correct on startup but I guess that's a sign of old age! However, now the sound is still having a buzz/static/snow sound. Any ideas on the sound? It seems it's relat...

first vic20 game: raid on fort knox or cosmic cruncher... i don't even remember unfortunately

Thanks for the tip. Is it tough to get the metal casing off? I don't want to break it.

Yeah, it's definitely weird how the color is totally off.

that would be pretty cool! thanks for sharing... too bad my c64 is not working right now

I'm trying to find the vic video chip and I don't see it while having the case opened. Is it under a casing? I'm looking for MOS 6560 or 6561 chip, correct? And then I would look for the screws next to it. Thanks so much. All i've done so far is just use an air duster to blow the dustiness and also ...

I sure hope you guys are right. It'd be great if it was just a tuning issue. It has been stored in an upstairs closet the past few months and before the move, I had it out on a desk used sometimes.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that. However, it seems odd that the video controls would have adjusted on its own. Does that happen? I tried hooking up to two different screens and had the same issue of the screen not quite right.

I haven't started up the vic20 since last spring before we moved to a new house. Unfortunately when I turned it on yesterday and saw the picture, it was not quite as white as it should be and sort of wavy but not scrolling. You could type and see what you were typing but not really usable otherwise....
