New never opened Vic 20?

Post by M pro »

I picked this up for not to much money recently.

In the listing it said, looks like it's never been used!

Looking at it, it looks like its newer been out the polythene bag as it's still taped up.

What do you guys think?

GREAT catch! Congrats on it.
Looks like it's an early two-prong model, but not so early to show PET style keys. Also, I've never (ever) seen this box before, and sure I did see some!

SHAME. I just picked up a C64 just like this. Plugged it in 1st off. Needed to check it worked at least.

I have a silver label C64 with a similar box to this one also :)

I think removing it from the bag to test it would take that new unused tag away for good :)

This is the same box as my old VIC (with PET-style keys)

Well, if he bought it in 1981 it was a poor investment :roll:

Would have loved to have it myself, but with 3 vic-20'ies one c64 and a A1200, my wife has started complaining :shock:
