What's a Chicken Lips case?


 Look at the first two pictures: you'll notice the first (black) A500 have a badge and the original have a Commodore logo (also known as "chicken lips").

 The C= cases are the older ones, and hard to find in Europe. I have 4 of those cases in home, and not a single one "badged"... Go figure.

OK I gotta find me a lips case for my 1200.
I really want to do the custom thing too....but I'm guessing the CDTV keys are hard to come by.
Yes really well done job.
I actually prefer it to the carbon 1200 from Germany. That one seems over embellished to me.

Beautiful!  I think I need two black CDTV keyboards now, one to use with my CDTV and another to put inside my A500.  I will have more painting to do though, as I will also need to pain my GVP A530 to match the black A500.

I see only one CDTV w/keyboard on eBay at the moment and its keyboard is black with beige keys.  How rare are the CDTV keyboards with the black keys?  I don't want to make black keys with stick-on key faces.

Again, great job, it looks really nice.

Looks great! I've never used it myself, but my understanding is that Krylon Fusion acts more like a dye (leaving the original texture intact, as opposed to leaving a "paint" coating). Pretty cool!

I have a yellowed A600 and A500 case I've thought about dyeing... not sure what colors yet, but probably some funky blue or purple. ;)

Thanks all!  I am really happy with the results.

Today I added a Minimegs 512k RAM card and took some more pics.

Ordered a belly cover and hopefully soon I will have a CDTV mouse to hack for it!

I am using a Supergen SX to use the composite out to my TV.
