I saw an ad on Kijiji for a few boxes of old Commodore 64 and VIC-20 stuff that was being given away, so I replied to it. I figured it was going to be just a small box with nothing really useful, but I was wrong. I got 7 boxes of various bits and pieces, such as:
1 breadbox style C64 with an out of memory error
1 C64c model which works fine
2 older model VIC-20's, both seem to work
1 newer VIC-20 which doesn't seem to do anything
3 Datasette drives
2 1541 floppy drives, both dead
1 1541-II drive, works fine
1 1702 monitor, works fine
8 or more joysticks
1 1351 mouse
2 paddle controllers (they look like the old Atari 2600 paddles)
Composite cable to connect the VIC to the monitor, and a luma/chroma cable for the C64
All AC adapters I need
30 or more floppy disks, some store bought, some copied (haven't counted them all)
An imcomplete GEOS disk set
2 VIC-20 Gorf game cartridges
A few data casettes
Various manuals and a few Commodore-related magazines
I am probably forgetting a few things. The datasettes and the floppy disks are old and some of them aren't working too good, or at all. I think the head in the Datasette drives could stand to be cleaned, and the 1541 could probably use a cleaning and realignment too, but for now I'll just leave them as they are. I wonder what a collection like this would go for on eBay, not that I plan on selling it though.
