Classic Commodore computers (READ) (Hintonburg)

Are you a collector and/or tinkerer of classic 8-bit computer hardware? This lot was poorly stored and doesn't work, but could conceivably be repaired or used for parts.

Commodore 64: Powers on to black screen. When powered on, it triggers a disk drive spin like it's supposed to, so I don't think it's completely dead.

Commodore VIC-20: Powers on to video garbage. Cartridge programs seem to work fine but also with graphical garbage.

Commodore Datasette: Exhibited strange behaviour toward the end of its use, but it may actually be fine and the behaviour may have been from a dying power supply. Can't re-test it now.

Commodore 1541 disk drive: worked fine last I checked.

Commodore 1571 disk drive: worked fine last I checked, but only ever acted as a 1541 (I never got double-sided mode to work).

Two Waco "The Boss" joysticks (not pictured): worked fine last I checked. They're just leaf switches in a heavy plastic housing so probably still fine.

Cartridges for the VIC-20, books about programming both systems, two power bricks (at LEAST one of them seems bad), various serial and video cables. Even includes a custom-made cable for attaching a Commodore serial device to a parallel printer port (but who has one of those nowadays?).

Everything is packed in a single 1.5 cubic-foot moving box. It is HEAVY. Strongly recommend a car with a trunk, or a bike with a trailer.
