Completely unnecessary product-related joke: This was 1980s computing—when 16 KB was plenty of memory and saving something required actual physical effort.

The VIC-20 computer appears cosmetically well preserved for its age. Its keyboard, casing, controls and exterior connections appear intact.
Both Commodore 1541 drives also present well visually. Their exterior housings, drive doors, indicator lenses and rear connections appear intact.
The Commodore MPS 1200 printer appears externally complete and remains fitted with its tractor-feed mechanism, paper supports and other visible hardware. Its power cord and a connecting cable are included.
A printer ribbon may be installed, but its presence, age and usability are not guaranteed.
There is no obvious visual indication that the equipment is badly damaged or incomplete. Based solely on its external appearance, the hardware may work. However, visual condition cannot establish functionality, and absolutely no operating condition is represented or guaranteed. It might work just fine. I just don’t have the time to test it.
IMPORTANT UNTESTED CONDITION NOTICE:
None of the computer equipment has been powered on, connected to a display or function-tested in any way.
The operating condition of the VIC-20, both 1541 floppy drives, MPS 1200 printer, Poker cartridge and included cables is completely unknown.
Vintage electronic and mechanical equipment can have age-related problems that are not externally visible. Inspection, cleaning, lubrication, adjustment, repair or replacement of components may be required before use.
The complete lot is therefore being sold AS IS in For Parts or Not Working condition. No guarantees or warranties are provided.
The equipment is suitable for restoration, repair, parts, collecting or display.
PACKAGING CONDITION:
The original packaging is included but is in rough storage condition.
The cardboard boxes are dusty, discolored, stained, dinged and worn. Some areas are crushed, torn or deteriorated. The molded Styrofoam inserts also show dust, dirt, chips, breakage and general age-related wear.
The packaging is included for historical interest and pickup protection but should not be considered collector-grade.
The equipment itself has not been extensively cleaned or restored. It may have dust, discoloration, scratches, marks and other cosmetic wear consistent with age and storage.
Only the equipment, literature, cables and packaging visible in the photographs are included. The cords and cables have not been individually identified or tested. Completeness of the original accessory sets cannot be guaranteed.
The Commodore Modem 1200 User’s Manual is included as shown, but the corresponding modem is not included.
No monitor, television, joystick or loose floppy disks are included.
The photographs are the primary inventory and show the actual equipment, accessories, packaging and cosmetic condition. Please examine every photograph carefully before purchasing.
LOCAL PICKUP ONLY:
This listing is for local pickup only. Shipping is not available due to the combined size, weight, age and fragility of the equipment.
The buyer must collect the complete lot. Individual components will not be separated at pickup.
