Today, its Friday and I am starting to feel human again. This week has been very on and off though, besides the flu.
I think Canada Post is starting to speed things up before Christmas, as most of my Ebay Auctions have come in this week. The first thing to arrive was my Commodore 64C "Test Pilot" package. I had been hunting for a while now, to find a nice 64C package and this one came up. I Paid only $33 bucks for it, so I was quite happy.
This box is huge! 20 inches tall, by 28 inches long. Inside were 2 close to mint boxes, one for the 64C, and one for the 1541-11 Floppy drive. The joystick was not included. I was also disappointed that the GEOS disk was missing and most of the games listed on the front. In fact only 2 games showed up, ATF and Crazy Cars.
After carefully cleaning the outside of the 64 (it was mostly clean, just a small amount of dirt), I hooked everything up and ran the test/demo disk for the 1541. Needless to say, it worked flawless.
Yesterday, I got in my C16.
No Box or nothing with this auction, just the Power supply and "tutorial" cartridge. I paid $7 for this auction, and it stunk like mold. I scrubbed the ouside down with my "Mr Clean Magic Errasers" and hooked it all up. I watched as the TED chip died, as the boarder came up on the white screen, then the screen filled with garbage then just like my plus/4 , 3 collums of vertical lines. Needless to say, I was not impressed. I seem to be having no luck with my TED machines.
About an hour ago, I got my last package in: another Plus/4. Needless to say, it's filthy! I paid another $7 for this. I hooked it all up and IT WORKS!!!!!!. I may need to clean or replace the keyboard, as it doesn't seem quite responsive, but hey! IT WORKS.
Now if you will excuse me, I am off to nap a bit (flu Remember) and then hook everything up to it.
