    Very nice version of the 664 :-) I have 2 of the 'regular' machines with the blue keys, but your machine looks great.

    Oh?! Fascinating, then my friend back in the 80s had the 664 and not what I recall the 6128, because I do remember those big cursor keys distinctively.
    I lived a while with them and during those couple of month, my friend, his older brother and I wrote a game in Basic.
    Which btw is a great basic on the CPC, with lines and circles. So I distinctly remember moving our tiny character with those big cursor keys. I just always thought it was a 6128. Did you own a CPC back in the day?
    Nicely fixed!

      I did own a CPC 464 with a DDI-1 disc drive. I sold my C64 for that ... because of Batman and the better Basic. The basic was awesome! I only had a green monitor but it was better than my 8" b/w TV cassette combo I used on my C64.

      @ yes, my friend also had that lively green monitor, it was really a crisp image as I recall. The only thing that disappointed me was the sound, that was nowhere near commodore standards. But other than that I recall, that we had good fun on the Schneider.

    I remember these from back in the day. You can replace that 3 inch drive with a Gotek (as I'm sure you know). I am surprised to see a QWERTY keyboard instead of a QWERTZ. Bravo on the drive repair though. Tschüss

    Sounds like a candy wrapper stuck on your mic
