"Up for sale is a Commodore 64 which has been heavily modified for use with Mssiah or Cynthcart. For those of you not familiar with the cartridge that turns your C64 into a midi integrated synthesizer can check out it out by clicking HERE. This is probably one of the most unique and impressive looking Commodores ever assembled. With a later revision motherboard and tightly gripping cartridge port, there were no expenses spared during it construction. This attention to detail has resulted in a long list of cosmetic and hardware modifications.- A all over flat black paint job using high quality automotive trim paint designed to adhere to all kinds plastic and metals. The white paint is high quality PPG White Gloss automotive paint. And I have also taken the proper time to do the professional prep work to the commodore’s surface to ensure complete adhesion of the paint to the plastic.
- All the keys have been painted black and accented with non-glaring white on black keyboard stickers, with the only exceptions of the cursor and commodore keys which have been replaced with original white C64c keys.- The whole keyboard has also been recessed about a 1/4” deeper into the commodore. This custom positioning feels so much more comfortable by eliminating the feel of a full stroke keyboard.
- A complete SID2SID installation with (1) 6581 R3 and (1) 6581 SID chip. The combination of the later revision 6581 SID chip with the classic 6581 creates a uniquely dynamic sound. I have also taken the extra effort to replace the filter caps for Sid #1 to eliminate the old failing caps common in C64’s.- There are (2) 1/4" Audio outputs jacks and (2) Audio inputs jacks, one for each SID's in and out. In addition the proper components have been added to the input of SID #2 to ensure the utmost sound quality. And all of the audio jacks have been labeled.
- (2) Red "kill" switches for the audio inputs have been added for each SID. This feature reduces the ground noise when switched on.
- A Sync24 In or "Din sync" female connector has been added which enables this C64 to be slaved to the many popular drum machines and synths such as the TR-606, TR-808, TR-909, TB-303, and MC-202.
- The boring stock red LED has been replaced with a cool new white LED. Also a white LED has been installed inside the case creating an interior glowing effect in the dark.
- A white colored RCA composite video jack has been added for increased clarity and compatibility.
- The addition of (4) 500k Potentiometers with nice black and white knobs that provide full control over the X/Y’s on controller port 1 and 2. The overall natural feel and the smooth ranges of the pots is an enormous upgrade to the bulky paddle controllers. Their placement is based off of AlphaMod.
