0053 The very rare (for North America) C64G and I build a couple miniature retro devices

Follow
Adrians Digital Basement ][

What's this? A C64 in the basement I've never even seen before (With my own eyes.) Yep, the C64G, the last of the bread bin machines. Also a couple miniature kits which I build in a timelapse. Please note: I mistook this for the Aldi C64 in the video, but I now know these are not the same machine. (But similar)

Aldi C64 Made in the USA in 1987. Light keyboard with PETSCII on front. Brown badge. Sold only in Aldi stores in Germany.

C64G Made in West Germany (and maybe China) in 1988. Light keyboard with PETSCII on top. Gray badge. Sold mainly in Germany with some sales in other European countries.

Both Use the 64C shortboard with a light keyboard. Same color light beige/gray case.
