Sjelden Commodore C64G, mørk tastatur! Noe for samlere!

Sjelden Commodore C64G, mørk tastatur! Noe for samlere!

Et virkelig sjeldent syn er C64G. Det som gjør denne enda mer uvanlig er at denne har mørke taster, hvor virkelig de allerfleste har lyse taster! Selve Breadbin/Brødboks har samme farge, lys C64C-aktig farge!

C64G er det ikke mange av, i hvertfall ikke med mørke taster

Maskinen er meget pen og fungerer 100%

Støvdeksel som avbildet som følger med. Strømadapter eller annet følger ikke med til prisen, kan følge med på forespørsel, men helst ikke. Antar at de fleste som evt. overveier en 64G allerede har en C64 fra før.

Selges mot godkjent bud over prisantydning, ellers beholder jeg denne for fremtidig museum). En slik maskin i denne tilstanden finner man nok ikke igjen med det første!

Kan hentes eller sendes.

Commodore 64G

The last model of the Commodore 64 to be sold was the Commodore 64G. It had the original "breadbox" case, but the color was much lighter, much the same as on the 64C model, to match the taste of the moment.

The keyboard can be either the original black model with graphic symbols on the front of the keys or the cream colored Commodore model type with the symbols on top of the keys. It seems that Commodore was just trying to use up all the parts they had in stock, resulting in all sorts of weird color combinations. The motherboard was small and simplified, very similar to the motherboard in the Commodore 64 Aldi version, although some C64G are reported with more older classic C64 motherboards in them...

The SID chip used here is a MOS 8580 version, resulting in sampled sound played at a very low volume. The reason comes from a bug in the older 6581 SID that was removed in the 8580. Finally a fix was found by grounding one leg of the 8580 through a resistor.

Some of these machines were made from Commodore 64GS game console parts when the console was bombed. Most were sold with a game pack (some magazine ads show the same game module as the GS) and were marketed almost as a pure game console that happened to have a computer in the same pack. The G model replaced the awful GS.

The build quality is not very good, especially the case feels quite brittle. The model sticker reads "Made in W. Germany", but the motherboards were probably made in Hong Kong at the same factory as the Commodore model machines and only the final assembly was made in Germany. The machine was probably only aimed at the European market.

The G model was clearly the last cheap game console that Commodore made to get rid of the huge stockpiles of Commodore 64 spares and GS parts. It was also sometimes called Commodore 64-III or C64 BN/E.
