Hey everyone. I want to start knowing all the differences between motherboards for the C64. A Google search shows some website, but some have mistakes. I prefer a site which has a picture and not a schematic. Part of the reason is to know the differences for repairing, and part is for selling. I believe that Rev. A are worth more. Anyone know about selling price for this version of the motherboard? Thanks!

I'd check completed/sold listings on Ebay, watching for those that say they are or appear to be a specific board number. Formally motherboards are little more complicated than Rev A, B, C. They are valued by their part numbers: *250425* *250466* *etc.* Bill On Sun, Mar 28, 2021 at 4:09 PM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

So if I see an assembly number: 250425, then how do I know if it is Rev A or Rev. B? I look at this site for Rev A: https://www.breadbox64.com/c64-hardware/commodore-64/assy-250425-rev-a/ And the same site for Rev B: https://www.breadbox64.com/c64-hardware/commodore-64/assy-250425-rev-b/ Not very helpful. The description is the same.

Jeff, https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Motherboard Something like this? Sure, it may not have the pricing part down, but it has the technical aspects covered pretty solidly. I don't recall seeing a Rev. A sell by itself to know how much it goes for. I do know that silver labels with Rev. A or B tend to fetch upwards of $200 on ebay these days. -Alexander 'Z' Pierson On Sunday, March 28, 2021, 04:08:43 PM EDT, Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote: Hey everyone.

This is what I had bookmarked for version identification. https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Motherboard On Sun, Mar 28, 2021, 4:08 PM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
