Portable Commodore 64

Dan Williams wrote: SX-64? Yep, we ended up with a couple at the museum that a guy had found at the dump. Both were dead; multiple faults on both plus various bits of case damage. I managed to find a broken donor C64 (surprisingly difficult - I didn't want to sacrifice a *working* model!) for various parts and then combine the best bits of both cases to make a respectable machine. That unit did stirling service at the CGE show a couple of years ago and ran without problems (despite other machines having heat-related troubles that day). It was the first time I'd seriously used any kind of C64 variant too - I ended up completely underwhelmed by the clunky disk system (BBC micro, this ain't!) and the portable keyboard felt like it was made of cardboard... Our second machine *could* be made to run again I suppose - IIRC it has a power supply fault, display fault, custom chip issues, and is missing a keyboard cable. It's also lacking the blue end caps for the handle though, so would need those sourcing from a scrap unit somewhere. cheers Jules
