C64 system cost?

Hey Joe, C-64 is kinda my 'thing', and I'd be more than happy to help you join the fold, so to speak.. ;-) Not sure where you're located, but C-64 (partial or complete systems) show up from cheap to free on many local craigslist services. For the most part, the C-64 itself is probably the cheapest and easiest to find, after that the 1541 drive and then a decent monitor. The Commodore 1702 & 1084 monitors are very nice, but getting pretty dang old. The 64 will work with +any+ composite monitor, but to really get the best video, try to get an S-Video capable monitor (older TV..) or one of the Commodore models. The Datasette isn't particularly useful, and as such, can be had cheap. Like any older mechanical cassette deck, they suffer the same issues (bad belts, hard rollers, dirty heads, hard grease, etc.). The modems are almost totally useless and as such, ought to be about free. This coming weekend I'm supposed to receive something like 2-3 complete C-64 systems with drives, monitors and accys. Who knows, one could be yours?! =) Software is plentiful and effectively free. Write me off-list for any other questions you'd rather not tie up list space with.. -Bill On Tue, Jan 19, 2016 at 6:38 PM, Rick Wilbur <Rictech at mail.com> wrote:
