pic not loading for me. I lived much of my life in Melbourne.

nevermind... it came up.

What does the framed flyer on the wall say?
-
...just some Wikipedia facts.

Someone needs to donate that missing key.

Would be nicer if they got the old breadbox one :)

What part? I spent my childhood in Indialantic and graduated from FIT. Funny thing is, the last year at FIT, I lived in a house about a block away (East Lincoln Ave) from this museum.

So, in my lunacy I have just removed the said missing key and spring from one of my spare (and broken) 64c keyboards, written a polite note and popped them in a jiffy bag. I shall post it in the morning all the way across the pond and that machine shall be complete once again.
I must be mad ;)

That is so cool. Many thanks for helping them out.

They need to have it powered up and put on a proper desk. Looks so confined on that little table.
So easy to knock over too I would assume :-(

No problem. I guess they should have it by now.

Got this email today :) :
Dear Mr. Taylor,
Thank you so much for sending us the key for our Commodore 64. We received it in the mail yesterday. We are a nonprofit organization with a museum who is always looking for ways to make this place better. We recently renovated the museum, so this goes perfectly. It was a pleasant surprise, and truly appreciated.
Thanks again,

So for those of us outside the US, does that mean the liberty bell is there?
-
There is indeed a Liberty Bell there. It is a copy, made by the company in England who build the original Liberty Bell. Without the crack on the side though.
I am out of the state right now but I will check and see if they fixed it when I get back.

I lived in Satellite Beach, but I worked in Indialantic for a few years.
I also used to play in a band that practiced a block or so from that museum over on Fee Ave.

The key arrived in the mail and put in place...Awesome!
