This is the model that I remember had stability issues when it was first released. I do not know if it was a local thing in my country or if it was actually true. Nevertheless, I remember that most of my my friends who bought the machines had to return them several times before they got a working one.
I never really liked the white color of this model, either. However, as I got more into the world of Commodore 64 hardware, I grew to like the looks of the C64C. And when it comes to ergonomics, the machine is far superior to the breadbox models, in my opinion. In fact, my everyday machine is currently hosted in a C64C case.
This is the list of motherboards which can be found in the Commodore 64C, Commodore 64G and Commodore 64 ‘Aldi’ case models. Active links are machines that I have in my collection…
