A few C64 audio / modding related bits I picked up that I’m now passing on, recorded here for posterity.
And advertising. (So cynical…)

Moog Song Producer

Commodore Gaming PC Case

Commodore MK-10 MIDI Keyboard

6 months later and I’m on the other side of the planet. For some reason I brought 6 crates of C64s and parts with me.

I’ve just opened them, it’s like… a strange sensation. I love these things, but have to let them go.

No SIDs included except for the KX-64R on ebay. You wondered where all those cases went when people busted them open to make Midiboxes?

HERE!

Prices in Aussie Dollars.

0 watchers. Phooey.

Check it out peeps. If you can pick these up from London on Sat or Sun, I’ll throw in 5 empty C64 cases for you to spray up like banksy (the real one).

Lots of C64 mimicking colours there and varnishes.

You can deliberately concentrate and inhale them if you like. Oh hang on what’s this on the can…

Gear is all packed up, unless you’ve already contacted me that’s all the 64 action I can offer for now.

On taking stock I see I still have a shedload of 64 bits for Aussie, but that’s it for 3 months or so.

Cheers and g’day.

So I put this up on ebay:

and they removed it, telling me “The Verified Rights Owners program (VeRO) allows intellectual property owners to report listings that infringe their rights on the site.”

“exploit the commodore brand worldwide” …

whine whine etc

Haven’t posted much as I’ve been busy. Busy modding, and busy packing to move to Australia. I ran out of SIDs a while ago, so I’ve been just fiddling around with cases.

If you take both the 808 and 909 edition I will include a SID in each!

A few conditions with these:

- They are mono units.
- All are PAL system
- The first 5 sold DID come with a FREE, ASSEMBLED , TESTED and WORKING SID2SID module but now they are all gone.
- Units are sold as working, tested as mono with a SID not included in the sale. But as they are essentially incomplete i.e. kitset so are sold with no warranty. As always I am happy to help with email support.
- There are no SIDs included unless specifically mentioned (I have a literally couple more SIDs, but I need them for testing the SID2SIDs before shipping)
- I have 4 sets of accessories (power supply, tape deck, cables, games, manual) – these are on offer for +£10 on top of the offer price. ( I guess you’ll have already or can buy a full C64 from ebay with the SID and accessories)
- Shipping isn’t included in the prices listed. £10 within UK. Germany £25, Spain £32. Might be less than this without accessories.
- Payment via paypal is preferred – safer for you, safer for me, safer for everybody. Safe.

I’m leaving the UK for Australia, hence I am retiring from this modding stuff. Mostly.
So, I can ship them to Aussie too, if you pay before 18th October, and don’t mind waiting 2-3 months.

Also: I would love to tailor these for you according to your wishes, but I just don’t have the time. Befriend a nerd or get yourself a soldering iron and a book like this and check out my links page. If you’re in Australia and I can’t get a job there then this will be a different story!

If you have some synth stuff you’d like to trade or barter with, I’m open to that too. I need to get these out the door!

There will be some of my spare parts unfinished projects and whatnot going up on ebay too.

This too:

99. KX-64R

I need to sell this thing. Will include SID2SID and 1 x SID – up on ebay today or tomorrow.

PS – if you’re looking for a unit with game graphics (like the C64 Alpha or C64 Zero – I am endeavouring to make one last one before I go, which will go on ebay. I may not finish it though. Who knows. Busy busy.

Fresh out of the workshop it’s…

Whatever that is!

I’ve done a project page for it (with more pics) here:

And a few snaps from the inside:

Dig it!

The latest – winging its way to Spain right now…
