A Restoration, cleaning and maintenance on a Commodore 64 c. I have used the keys from a broken Commodore Vic=20, to replace some of the original keys of the Commodore 64 c. I used bleach to clean the keys, and an air compressor to blow the keys dry, and remove the dust from the parts. This Commodore 64 c is fully working at this moment. The most photo's of this restoration, are taken with my smartphone in stead of the Nikon D5200. The Commodore 64, the Commodore Vic=20, and the Commodore 64c, have the same keyboard mechanism. Only the color of the keys are different.
One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
When I sold my Commodore 64 back in 1989 for buying my first Atari ST I kept a couple of disks with personal items on them, thinking that maybe someday I could transfer them to some more modern hardware or something. So in 2011 i finally came across this Commodore 128D at a real bargain price. It came with plenty of games and extra hardware. The fan was really noisy though, so I replaced it with a modern one to silence it.
I suspect a touch of the hype might have influenced my decision in buying five of these new Matchbox Holden Commodore VF SSV when I found a full unopened box of Case J at The Entertainer recently. Full credit to Matchbox for expanding its tiny Holden repertoire and for debuting this casting in an authentic Southern Australian police livery.
Mint and boxed.
I really would have liked to have owned one of these as a kid. I sat in a store coveting this long ago in the 80's.

The Commodore Vic-20 was the first computer to sell more than one million units, and it was the first colour computer to break the $300 price barrier. The "20" in the name was just as arbitrary as the machine having only 5K of RAM and a 22 column display. Initial retail price in 1981? $299.95 US.
Want to play with it? Go see it in person in Brantford, Ontario!

Photographed with the Sony Xperia ZX1: This is a restoration / cleaning of a Commodore Amiga 500. Most of the photo's are done with a Smartphone, because it's easier when working at this beautiful computer. This computer is fully functional and has a memory expansion of 512kb. I bought this computer in a thriftstore / kringloopwinkel many years ago, and now i clean this beauty.
The Commodore was formally the Queen's Hotel in Cobh - it is the oldest purpose built hotel in ireland built in the mid 19th century. It was the location where the survivors from the Luisitania were brought after there rescue. Passengers from all the White Star Liners sailing for America would have stayed here!
