For 1980 this turbo six Commodore was offered in the aftermarket. It says a maximum of 85 will be built per month. I have no idea if they came close to this goal.

Creede, Colorado is a small community that, as of the 2010 US Census, had a population of 290. This a far cry from the 1890s, when the town's population peaked at over 10,000. Creede used to be a major mining center, and while some mining is still done in the area, it exists today as much as a tourist destination as anything else. The Commodore Mine was one of many mines just north of Creede, and the Commodore Ore House, seen here, has been maintained to this day, as a relic of a bygone era.
A Royal Navy servicewoman is pictured during a Remembrance Parade in Helensburgh, Clyde, Scotland.
Helensburgh gathered at Hermitage Park on Sunday (13th November 2011) to remember those members of the Armed Forces who had fallen in conflicts around the globe.
Among those attending were sailors from HM Naval Base Clyde, forming the guard for the event, and HMS Neptune’s Volunteer Band who provided a sombre accompaniment.
Leading the Royal Navy contingent at the ceremony was Commodore Mike Wareham, Naval Base Commander Clyde.
Also in attendance at the poignant ceremony were members of the Royal British Legion, the Submarine Association and representatives from groups such as the Scouts, Boys Brigade, Sea, Army and Air Cadets, Girls Brigade, Guides and the Red Cross.
During the ceremony in front of the Hermitage Park cenotaph, a bugler played the Last Post before the traditional two minutes of silence, marking the tremendous sacrifice which those who have died in the service of their country and their loved-ones have made. Photographer: LA(Phot) Ben Sutton

An ancient, but functional, Commodore CBM 8032. The first computer I had ever used was one of these back in 1981. Learned Waterloo Basic (a structured Basic) on it. Picked this one up locally many years ago but it just sat around collecting dust and taking up space. Gave it away to a "collector" who's now trying to sell it for $2400, good luck with that, but at least maybe if someone thinks it has that kind of value, it won't end up in a land fill or recycled. Picture was taken the morning I gave it away. The keyboard wasn't fully working so I was trying to type something timely - Canada had just won it's first home gold medal in the men's moguls.

He will be featured in my Castillo de san Pedro diorama. What do you think of the name?
The Commodore 6TS3 uses early NEC (Nippon Electric Company) oval transistors.
The capacitor codes indicate that they were manufactured in August and September of 1957 thus the radio was most likely assembled a month or two later.
My guess is that this radio was made by Koyo (Koyo Denki Co., Ltd) Early Koyo radios used NEC transistors like this, also the 'K' logo on the speaker is a clue.....lastly the radio's model number (6TS3) is very similar to Koyo model numbers. Koyo's first radio was a KR-6TS1

Commodore Stephen Decatur, Jr. (January 5, 1779 – March 22, 1820) was an American naval officer notable for his heroism in actions at Tripoli, Libya in the Barbary Wars and in the War of 1812.
He was born in Sinepuxent, Maryland and attended the Abercrombie School in Philadelphia at Dr. Abercrombie's Academy with future naval heroes Richard Somers and Charles Stewart. He was appointed midshipman in the Navy on April 30, 1798, serving on USS United States. His father, Stephen Decatur, Sr., was also a Naval officer, having commanded several ships. Another Stephen Decatur (1815–76) claimed to be his nephew and was an incorporator of Decatur, Nebraska.
He married Miss Susan Wheeler, the daughter of the Mayor of Norfolk, Virginia, on March 8, 1806. In 1818, in Washington, D.C., he built a house designed by Benjamin Henry Latrobe. The house, now a museum, was located on President's Square (Lafayette Square).
Decatur is famed for his toast: "Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong."
In 1820, Commodore James Barron challenged Decatur to a duel, relating in part to comments Decatur had made over what he considered Barron's poor conduct in the "Chesapeake-Leopard Affair" of 1807. The two officers fought in Bladensburg, Maryland, on 22 March 1820. Decatur was mortally wounded and died shortly afterwards. He died childless. Though he left his widow $75,000 dollars (a considerable sum in 1820), she died penniless in 1860.
He is said to have fired upon the Jersey Devil in front of guests, who were amazed to see the creature remain unharmed.
"Decatur's Conflict with the Algerine at Tripoli. Reuben James Interposing His Head to Save the Life of His Commander." Copy of engraving by Alonzo Chappel, August, 1804Active during the undeclared war with France, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in 1799. Given command of the brig Argus in 1803, he took it to the Mediterranean for service in the First Barbary War against Tripoli. Once in the combat zone, Lieutenant Decatur commanded the schooner Enterprise and, on 23 December 1803, captured the enemy ketch Mastico. That vessel, taken into the U.S. Navy under the name Intrepid, was used by Decatur on 16 February 1804 to execute a night raid into Tripoli harbor to destroy the former U.S. frigate Philadelphia, which had been captured after running aground at the end of October 1803. Admiral Lord Nelson is said to have called this "the most bold and daring act of the age."
This daring and extremely successful operation made Lieutenant Decatur an immediate national hero, a status that was enhanced by his courageous conduct during the 3 August 1804 bombardment of Tripoli. In that action, he led his men in hand-to-hand fighting while boarding and capturing an enemy gunboat. Decatur was subsequently promoted to the rank of Captain, and over the next eight years had command of several frigates.
On October 25, 1812, while commanding United States, he captured HMS Macedonian. In 1814 he flew a pennant as Commodore commanding USS President and three smaller vessels in the West Indies. The day after setting sail from New York, he encountered the British West Indies Squadron January 15, 1815, and was forced to surrender the frigate President after a fierce fight.
In May 1815, Commodore Decatur sailed his squadron to the Mediterranean Sea to conduct the Second Barbary War, which put an end to the international practice of paying tribute to pirate states. For this campaign he became known as "the Conqueror of the Barbary Pirates."
Between 1816 and 1820, Decatur served as a Navy Commissioner.
Five U.S. Navy ships have been named USS Decatur in his honor, along with numerous locations. Numerous schools also bear his name.
An engraved portrait of Decatur appears on U.S. paper money on series 1886 20.00 silver certificates.
Forty-six communities in the United States have been named after Stephen Decatur, including:
Decatur, Alabama
Decatur, Illinois
Decatur, Texas
Decatur, Georgia
Decatur Township, Indiana

Although the makers of the Commodore took some chances with the front of the radio, the back of the cabinet is almost identical to the Sony TR-63.
Both radios have very thin back cabinets, look closely and you can see the outlines of the inside labels and components.
I played this computer game on a Commodore 64 a very young age, and just happened to find the manual while doing some research on the original game.
What you're seeing here is a battle with a ghost, casting a "killing" spell against a dragon followed by an overnight sequence and a short-lived dragon battle, and a vampire that turns out to be deadly.
When your character is killed, it's left up to chance by "the good wizard" - sometimes you make it with 50% health etc., and sometimes you don't.
The original version of this game was published by Epyx for the Commodore PET, Atari and Apple ][ - allegedly, a C64 version was not officially released. That said, it appears someone converted original BASIC version over to the Commodore 64 - and it must have been quite popular with the latter community.
Thanks are due to archeogaming for the detailed background on a game I enjoyed in my early years.
Appropriately enough, the original game was developed by Automated Simulations, Inc. / Epyx, out of Mountain View, CA (per the manual [PDF]) - which itself had layout, type setting and printing work done by companies in Fremont and Sunnyvale, making it a true Silicon Valley-based production. (See also, Atari 400/800 details.)
Bonus tidbit: This was apparently a first game for developer Robert Leyland, who later worked on games such as Star Control, SC2, Toe Jam & Earl, and others (more here.)
