Scored a VIC-1020!
I am now the proud owner of a VIC-1020!
It's in excellent condition, but the front label, while so far intact, has bubbled and become quite brittle. So I'm debating what to do about that. Any suggestions?
It also came with several boxed cartridges, a boxed VIC-1525 printers and the usual (VIC itself, datasette, etc.).
Just wanting to brag a little

Hmm, thin plastic... On the VC1020, isn't the label made of something like vellum?Schema wrote:It (the label) isn't like the one on the VIC. It's a very thin plastic...

It's kind of like a normal sticker. Mine has come off completely. I have put it back with normal transparent tape.

That's a great find, Schema - where the heck did you get it? Toronto is a great place to find caches of old Commodore stuff.
What's really neat about that 1020 is that is actually says "VIC-1020". Most of the ones that show up are from Europe and say "VC-1020".
I'd take extremely detailed photos straight-on of the label, so that if it ever is destroyed, you could have a replacement made.
I've always loved the 1020 because it makes the VIC-20 look like a PET. Maybe I'll find one, one day.

It says VIC on mine.
