As I'm sure you guys all know, the SX-64 was touted as the first "portable" computer and was one of the luggable, not-so-portable portables I've been after one for years to round out my C64 collection, and have always lost out: either I wasn't willing to sell my body to science to get the funds, or there was just too much wrong with it for me to bother (I didn't want to have to hunt down keyboard latches and the like).
Saw one on ebay yesterday with bidding around the $100 mark. It didn't have broken keyboard latches, was in overall good shape, was complete with full manuals and system disks (I've actually got several of the system disks for it already), came with a boxed/likely-new printer, and best of all - it was tested working.
I tossed a bid of $175 and didn't look back, figuring that it would go to the $200+ mark, as most of them do.
As it turns out, I won
The guy's gouging me on shipping just a bit, but hey, that I can handle - I'm finally getting an SX-64!!!
Pictures forthcoming.
(now to find a place to set it up..... SIGH)
