    Default Anyone interested in a portable C64

    I've got one that my dad bought back in the day. I haven't tested it yet - last time I used it was probably 95 or 96. Are these valuable at all? Its the suitcase sized C64:

    No clue on the value, but that is a pretty cool piece. You'll have to update if you get it to work. Can't imagine doing BASIC programming on a screen that small tough

    It's definitely collectible and probably worth a bit if it's working, or even perhaps if it isn't.

    Do a search in the european ebays (.co.uk , .de , .fr), there are always a few available and cost between 300-500 euro depending on condition , extras etc. Definitely a collectible

    The SX-64 is a very cool unit. Normally sell in the USA for around $100-$150. I have had one and would love to get another one! You should keep it as it plays Commodore 64 game cartridges and even has joystick ports. The compact size w/ built in Monitor and Disk Drive mean it will take up much less table space, too!

    I finally got around to testing it and its not working. I even have the external display cable and tried hooking it up to an old Commodore monitor but there is no display, The drive light comes on and spins for a short time then nothing happens . . .

    FYI I put it up on Craigslist and got several offers right away in the $20-$25 range
