Hi cctalkers,
Up for offer is a slightly worn but completely working Commodore SX 64
Executive 'Portable'. This thing is really neat, the drive and monitor are
integrated, making it luggable. I have fixed the keyboard membrane that is
a typical problem with these, the keys all work. Floppy drive works, I'll
include a stack of 5 1/4 floppies with it, one is the xmas demo (it was a
hit here at my office, kinda like a vintage digital snow globe) and the
Uridium video game. I'll also include the SX64 JiffyDOS rom upgrades that I
never got around to installing (~$40 upgrade). This will speed up the drive
access when installed. Also have the original manual and some other stuff
that'll go in the lot. Asking $250, I'm willing to ship, buyer pays
shipping, figure $30-$40 for shipping, I will pack this up and get you a
shipping quote before paying. Paypal, money order, or personal check
accepted (I will wait to ship until check clears).
You can see photos of the C64-SX on my craigslist post here:

I've also some other items:
- Original Commodore C2N Cassette recorder, I think only for use w/ C64,
has special cable interface. Untested, case could use a good cleaning.
$5+shipping.
- Commodore 1541 Floppy Drive, the disc eject mechanism is not working, but
was able to write floppies on this with a PC some time ago (3 years), and
the floppies read on the C64sx mentioned above. $5+shipping, this thing is
solid so may not be a cheap ship.
- 64NIC+ from the Cincinnati Commodore Comp Club in a clear cartridge case.
This was a lot of fun, getting the Commodore onto the Internet and doing
things like Twitter. Working, will include some printouts on how to use
and network utilities floppy from 4 years ago (Twitter client no longer
works due to protocol changes and I haven't looked to get newer versions of
the network tools. $50 obo+shipping.
If you're in the South SF Bay Area, we can coordinate to check the stuff
out and pick up in person.
I love this stuff, but priorities have changed, so I'm hoping this goes
onto other folks that can also appreciate it.
Please email me if you have questions or would like pictures, thanks!
