Commodore SX-64 USA (NTSC) – Repairing and Cleaning

Commodore SX-64 (USA)

A big disappointing this Commodore SX-64 USA purchased for spare parts to fix aesthetically one of my SX-64 PAL.

Why disappointing? because from the photo’s looked in a very bad shape, rust stains, various diseases and not working.

Conversely after removed the shit from the external case, replaced the booring PLA (906114), general cleaning + keyboard / Floppy Drive test and replaced one keyboard lock, the SX-64 is fully working and aesthetically in good condition.

Now i have for myself four SX-64 where the fourth is NTSC/USA, but honestly i was not looking for the USA version.

I am really unlucky :D

    Hello,

    I have two NTSC SX-64 as well – and I’m planning to clean one of them – how did you open the keyboard? I didn’t see screws on the keyboard…
    Also is it even possible to get a PAL SX-64 these days? If so where should I look?
    Thanks in advance.
