Looking for some partially working VIC20s or c64s to fix

Post by Nathan »

I want to get into the retro computer repairing hobby too, both a collector and repairer :) get it? So I need some partially working Vic 20s or C64s so I can grab some of the chips off eBay and repair them so I can add them into the collection, must include PSU, rf modulator and all that etc

My personal experience is to go on Ebay and buy one frm a buyer that says "Untested....don't know how to hook it up". There is about an 80% change it won't work :lol: [/img]

I've got a handful (about 3-4) VICs and C64s partially work (or not)... Send me email and make offer.
