Donations requested TheA500Mini, TheSpectrum, TheVic20
I've been using these modern implementations from retrogames.biz across the country at different shows to promote VCF: VCF SoCal, VCF MidWest, NJ Maker Day, World of Commodore, etc. I own these: TheC64, TheC4Mini, The400mini. So I lend them to VCF for events. Items like these are easy to transport and work with modern flat screens. So flying with them is easier than the original machines. VCF is looking for someone to donate the other ones that I don't have: TheA500Mini, TheSpectrum, TheVic20. If anyone is interested in donating them, then please let me know. They will be used at many events throughout the year for shows, makerfests, etc. Thanks!

On this note, I have not seen "The VIC-20" available for sale in this country, and I have been looking for years. Has anyone had a different experience? On Thu, May 22, 2025 at 1:00 PM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

correct. But they are on sale on EBay for about a 35.00 premium. You can buy them for 200 pounds (270 USD) amazonUK, but there is a seller in Germany who ships to the US for just over $305.00 USD all in. ________________________________ From: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic-bounces@lists.vcfed.org> on behalf of Chris Fala via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2025 2:01 PM To: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Cc: Chris Fala <chrisjpf33@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Donations requested TheA500Mini, TheSpectrum, TheVic20 This Message Is From an External Sender This message came from outside your organization.
