Good catch, I hope you have more luck with it than I have with mine.

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

You posted on Amibay that you are still looking. How many are you looking to buy?

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

The same seller got 8gb for a similar model last year. That 9 need was brand new never used. I was thinking this one might go for 80 gbp yesterday
