VC-1010 Expansion Module

[orion70]

Hi all. I see that there are no recent threads about the two big VIC-20 expansion units, i.e., the 1010 and the 1020. Being a proud owner of an Arfon Micro VIC Expander and a 1020, unfortunately both chassis-only for various reasons, I was lucky enough to find a newly listed "Commodore 64 VIC-20 + VIC-1010 espansion module" [sic]. Blurry pictures, very approximate description, unclear about boxes and extras, "untested material". 129 Euros, offers accepted.

No time to think: offered 150, promptly accepted. Less than one week after: VIC-1010 complete in box, including manual and Commodore original guarantee, in pristine condition, apart from a few defects of the sleeve. Excellent VIC-20, working, with box in poor condition (but frankly dear friends, who cares?). But above all, everything is perfectly working!

Now, this is a top notch deal in my whole life as a collector in Commodore stuff. I just wanted to share. BTW, is there already a copy of the manual anywhere in the web (I can't find it googling around)?

Congratulations!. Looks great!

Cheers (for your new adquistion)

Very good going, I sold my Vic1010 by itself for nearly double that...

Thank you! For anyone interested, HERE's the manual.

I sent it to David at Bombjack but then he made me realize it was already there. Same for Wordcraft 20 and VIC Screen Master (see the other thread in this section) - shame on me

Everyone should really check that archive before posting or even scanning manuals.
