Jules, C-64 key / case colors are just a matter of where and when it was produced. IIRC the original units had the Orange FN keys, with gray coming later. Case colors changed too, not sure when / why - but it might have something to do with the C-64C & C-128 models that emerged later in the prod. life.
If you're not sure what to do with those 64s you picked up, mail me off-list.. I need a spare C-64 power supply, and a spare motherboard would be useful too.. -Bill On Wed, Dec 9, 2015 at 3:30 PM, Jules Richardson < jules.richardso...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 12/09/2015 10:12 AM, Mike wrote: > >> Are there any other Commodore 64 users out there? >> > > Funny, I just picked up two boxed machines today, along with a 1541, docs, > cables, modem, and a VIC-1525 printer.
