Jules,
C-64 key / case colors are just a matter of where and when it was produced.
IIRC the original units had the Orange FN keys, with gray coming later.
Case colors changed too, not sure when / why - but it might have something
to do with the C-64C & C-128 models that emerged later in the prod. life.
If you're not sure what to do with those 64s you picked up, mail me
off-list.. I need a spare C-64 power supply, and a spare motherboard would
be useful too..

Are there any other Commodore 64 users out

Funny, I just picked up two boxed machines today, along with a 1541, docs,
cables, modem, and a VIC-1525 printer. I've not brought everything inside
to take a better look at it all yet, although I did notice that one machine
has gray function keys and the other orange - I'm not sure if there's any
significance attached to that in terms of age (both machines are the
breadbox type)
I've already got a couple of breadbox C64s (one boxed), a couple of 1541
drives, and a monitor (1702?), so I really didn't need two more machines!
But I figured that having another 1541 was handy "just in case", and the
printer and modem are both kinda cool, and there are some manuals which I
didn't have...
cheers
