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.

Lucky wanker =) when i bought out the remains of a C= shop here in .no i didnt find such NEW goodies =) well a few but not like this! :-) let me know if you ever wanna sell any of them would be nice with a new in box of both C64 and A500 or whatever else you have hidding under your bed :-D
-
Is there going to be any room left in your house that's still avaliable to live in? :-P
Or is it just a maze full of boxes now? :-D
-
Nice collection! :-)
btw: Looks like Commodore used really big boxes for their 1541s... :-D
-
BTW: i am not at liberty to say exactly by how much ATM, but my collection of A500s (C= refurbs) just grew substantially. Let's just say the quantities are mind blowing. :-o

@vincient
The majority have been moved to external storage or my wife woulf have kicked me out :-o

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! ;-)
-
I can't believe this stuff is just sitting around like that, waiting to be found. Totally amazing!
It so frickin' cool!

;-) 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
-
Wow! :-o
Red:
Share the wealth :-)
-edit:
Red:
You must be a very lucky man indeed, i will make a deal with ya, you pick me 6 numbers for use in the UK lotto on Wednesday night (June 18th) and i will use them for that 1 night only. If i win big you get a 5% cut, i'm serious :) just PM the numbers please, anything between 1 and 49.
A man this lucky (Amigas and C64's!) is a man to pick my lotto numbers :-D

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

:-o :-o :-o :-o
How does he do it? How does he do it?

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!).
