Some time ago there was mention in this newsgroup of a repair policy for C64's that went something like "send in your sick one plus $50 (?) and we'll return it repaired or replaced." 1) Is this still valid? 2) If so, to whom and with how much buck$ do I send it? 3) Thank you very much. keith Keith Ericson at TekLabs (resident factious factotum) Tektronix, PO 500, MS 58-383 Beaverton OR 97077 (503)627-6042 uucp: [ucbvax|decvax|ihnp4|hplabs|(and_many_others)]!tektronix!tekgvs!keithe CSnet: keithe%tekgvs@tektronix ARPAnet: keithe%tekgvs%tektronix@csnet-relay "Modern" version: keithe@tekgvs.tek.com

There is a number to call for additional information, but I don't have it here at home - check with someplace currenly selling 64s for up-to-date info. There are also a number of places advertising Commodore repairs. Check out the Commodore related publications or 'The Computer Shopper'. -- George Robbins - now working with, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|caip}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)

I have had both my 64 and 1541 repaired, and both times, RCA gave me the most expensive "over the phone"rr estimate. It appears that RCA does "board swaps", and doesn't acyually fix YOUR board. There are many independent "approved by Commodore" repair shops that charge alot less than RCA. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lowrey "So it goes, so it goes, so it goes, so it goes.
