Title: Warehouse Find, Large Stock of NEW Commodore Hardware-Part 2
Post by: redrumloa on June 18, 2003, 08:40:51 PM
A very substantial stock of NOS (New Old Stock) Commodore hardware has been located and is now in a private collection.
Pictures of NOS(New Old Stock) C64c computers and 1541-II floppy drives are listed in the gallery today.

[color=FF0000]Update:[/color] Additional pictures available.
Many thanks to AO member ALX for his assistance.


There are no plans at present to sell this stock, they will remain in private storage. This is likely the largest collection of brand new commodore 64s and 1541s public or private in the world. If any specific additional photos are wanted, PM me and I will happily oblige.

Heh!  I have an old-school brown C64 w/box and original 1541 in box.  I wish my boxes had were in as nice of shape, though!  ... and had pretty graphics on them.

(My 64c / 1541II combo is unboxed.  :-(  )

Great find, ya lucky dog!  ;-)

;-) Nice catch there, Red.  I notice on the 1541-II that it reads: "GEOS inside," or something.  The glare from the flash obscures part of it.

:-? Is that what it reads?

@Quixote

Yes that's exactly what it reads. "Geos Inside", It has Geos bundled.

Redrum, how exactly do you manage to find all this stuff? are you a computer historian or something?  I'm just amazed at the speed with which you're finding dozens of brand-new 80s machines...

Or do you have a time machine in your basement?  :-P

If you mail them to me, I can put them on a server and you can link to them here so everyone can see them?

---edit---

BTW, that's a lot of computers you've got there - you'll probably be very famous among collectors in a few years :-D

Isn't it the Nurse/Nuke dilemma? (Only there were 2 red buttons!). Nice touch, really nice (It's one of my favorites).

As for the stock, I NEED a C=64 (the bread-box one!).

Red, you certainly are one jammy bugger :-D
