I have an auction up for a Koala Ware Dancing Bear Cartridge for the VIC-20. I got this in a big haul of Commodore items last week. I only use the C64 so maybe someone here would find it useful for their collection. I can't test this cart as I don't have a working VIC-20, however it appears to be in excellent shape.

If the box is already opened, you could do us all a big favour by scanning the Koala Pad overlay at high resolution and posting it here as a JPEG for us to download. Then we could all print it and use our Koala Dancing Bear cartridges (it would also be useful as a piece of VIC history).

Well, I don't see that here... all I have is what is in the pic, the box, the cartridge and manual.
I do have a pile of VIC-20 stuff that I got in this haul, perhaps it's stashed in there somewhere. Let me have a look and I'll see if it's there.

I am quite unfamiliar with VIC-20 stuff, is this cartridge considered rare/hard to find? I am just trying to get rid of some of this stuff to some who might use it rather than pitch it in the dumpster.
Dancing Bear is an 8 on the rarity scale used by Digital Press. I think yours is only the third boxed copy I've seen. As in separate entity. I've seen the version with the pad and the cart with it more often.
Still not an easy cart to find
If the overlay is really that needed, I'll see if I can find my copy here...

Well, a high resolution scan of the overlay would be appreciated, as then I can print it out, get it laminated and actually use it on my Koala Pad.
I organized this remaining stuff and found the overlay for Dancing Bear, it was in a pile of assorted things. I have 2 of them actually, I'm not sure if the cart originally comes with 2 or if I just have an extra.
I will scan it and post it up here shortly.
EDIT: Here it is, let me know if this works for you or not.

Looks great and works great as well! Thanks a lot for doing this. It's a great help to the VIC-20 community.
That overlay was reprinted in a COMPUTE! issue which I have somewhere, either the whole issue or just a cut-out. The embarrassing point is that I don't know which issue, and I briefly looked through them all trying to locate it before, with no luck.
