[net.micro] C64 video troubles

LAVITSKY@RU-GREEN.ARPA (07/18/83)

Hi!,

  Well, I called Commodore about my video 'sparkle' problem. Apparently only a
small number of the units were affected by this problem. It seems that it has
been corrected in the newer units. When I asked them what I could do to correct
my problem, they told me that since my unit was still under warranty, I should
exchange it for a new one. I did, and now have a perfectly working C64.

  My reccomendation: before you shell out the bucks for this marvelous little
machine, try to see a demonstration of the particular unit you are purchasing
(or should I say stealing considering the price?). The unit that I had the 
problems with had a serial number like P0001... and my new unit has one like
P0003... , so it would also be best to make sure you are getting a recently
made unit.

Best of luck,
Eric
