This 1989 Sony TV was a £41 pickup on eBay. Ultimately I’d like to put it on a Sam Coupé but for now it’s serving the C64. Bargains are still out there.

Reuniting orphaned boxes and media brings me more joy than it probably should.

New arrival. A nice example of an aftermarket C64 case for bread bin owners to get the look of a C64C. Made in Australia but sold around the world, and a bonus Slik Stik to go with it.
