I have been selling, refurbishing, and repairing Commodore 64 computers for years, and this piece by far, is hands-down the BEST Early generation Commodore 64 I have ever seen. The pictures you see of the unit are DIRECTLY out of the box, untouched, and not cleaned by me. This is a VERY early Commodore 64 in Collector Grade. Even the motherboard is spotless, and I mean ZERO dust or anything else. Unit powers right up with Zero issues. In the box was also the original Commodore repair invoice.

Here's my opinion. This unit was purchased in the early half of 1983, sent in for repair in Dec of 84, received back from Commodore, and has been in the box in a climate controlled environment ever since, not used since repair. The lack of dust tells me it has not been sitting out in an open environment.

Here are some details for you:

*PLEASE do NOT power up ANY Commodore 64, especially early era, with the black brick power supply. These power supplies are notorious for over voltage and damaging the motherboard. This unit was powered with a modern power supply built by Ray Carlsen. Power supply with Commodore DOES supply correct voltage, tested.
