Seller's Note: I bought this back in 2023, and I was going to use it for a personal project but never got around to it. It is in excellent condition and works great; I tested it. It is missing some screws to keep the main case intact, unfortunately. I don't know what happened to them. However, that should be very easy to replace. Please, message me with any questions.Item Specifics

Item Description
The "Friendly Computer": Commodore VIC-20 (NTSC) – Museum Quality Collector’s Set
Up for sale is a stunning Commodore VIC-20 in excellent aesthetic and functional condition. This is the North American NTSC version, and it remains one of the cleanest examples you will find. This unit isn't just a "power on" test; it has been fully tested and is ready to play.
Condition & Testing Details:
- Fully Functional: This VIC-20 has been thoroughly tested. It boots to the classic "COMMODORE VIC-20 BASIC V2" screen, and all keys on the keyboard are responsive and tactile.
- Cosmetics: The iconic "breadbin" case is in excellent condition with minimal signs of age. The labels are crisp, and the port connectors are clean.
- Original Packaging: Includes the original retail box, which has been remarkably well-preserved. It still includes the internal cardboard/styrofoam packing material to keep the computer safe.
What’s Included (Complete-in-Box):
- Commodore VIC-20 Console: North American NTSC model.
- Original Retail Box: In great shape with vibrant vintage graphics.
- Original User’s Manual: The "VIC-20 Personal Computer Guide" in excellent condition.
- Original Power Supply (PSU): Standard 110V–120V North American plug.
- Original Video/RF Cables: Everything needed to hook up to a vintage TV or monitor.
Technical Specifications:
- CPU: MOS Technology 6502.
- RAM: 5 KB (Expandable).
- Sound/Graphics: VIC (Video Interface Chip) 6560.
Collector's Note:
As with all vintage electronics from the early 1980s, this is being sold as-is. While the unit is currently fully functional and tested, these machines are 40+ years old. I recommend using a modern "Saved by Commodore" style power protector or a modern replacement PSU to ensure the longevity of the internal chips.
