My father has some used Commodore 64 equipment for sale:
+ Package deal, $195.00:
+ Computer, with power supply
+ 1541 floppy disk drive, used sparingly (he used it as a spare for his
other drive)
+ joystick
+ 100 diskettes (with some public domain software but, for the most
part, consider them used but blank)
+ Two plug-in game cartridges ("Clowns" and "Kickman")
+ Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy game on diskette
+ Computer, with a bad power supply, $38.00
(This CPU works fine, but the power supply only works for about half
an hour before the heat gets to it. I think that a new power supply
costs about $35.00, and can be mail ordered from ads in the back of
magazines that deal in Commodore equipment. The unit also had
three damaged key plungers which, while I repaired them to a functional
state, are noticeably uneven in the key rows.)
+ Books
+ Commodore 64 programmers reference Guide $5.50 (2 copies available)
+ 1541 User's Guide, by Neufeld $5.50 (2 copies available)
+ Mapping the Commodore 64 by Compute! Magazine $3.50
+ The Anatomy of the Commodore 64, by Abacus Software $3.50
+ Intermediate Commodore 64, by Grotke $1.00
+ Commodore 64 Computing, by Sinclair $1.00
+ Inside Commodore DOS, by Immers and Neufeld $3.50
+ Sprite Graphics for the Commodore 64, by Larsen $3.50
+ One of each of the above: $24.00
+ One of each of the above for free if purchased with the
package deal above, the color monitor, and the printer
interface.
+ Magnavox amber monochrome monitor: $58.00
+ Color monitor (Don't know who manufactured, bought from Sears): $148.00
+ Xetec Super Graphix printer interface (used little) with documentation
and fonts: $38.00
He will pay the shipping.
A caveat on the above - the CPUs were bought before they came out with the
newer style case. Thus it is the older-style, higher-profile case, rather
than the newer-style, low-profile case that you currently see in the stores.
The drive is the model with the flat bar that moves vertically up and down
to lock in the diskette (rather than the model with the baseball bat handle
that swivels 90 degrees).
I don't know if my father would be willing to dicker on the price, but I could
probably talk him into accepting a deal on a package of two or more of the items
mentioned above.

Until mid-February, I will be hopping from desk to desk since I am on a
temporary assignment. However, there is an answering machine at the above
number and I will eventually return any calls, but it may take several
days since I may not have time to visit my regular office very often.
Email to att!ihlpl!fme will get a faster response.
