Comment on Commodore 64 breadbin badges by jameeldin https://www.retro8bitshop.com/product/commodore-64-breadbin-badges/#comment-80250 Mon, 14 Aug 2023 18:44:20 +0000 https://www.retro8bitshop.com/?post_type=product&p=1325099#comment-80250 These badges are beautiful replacements and upgrades for your original C64. But they also are a perfect fit for the new C64 Maxi, so if you’re looking to make yours look even more like the real deal, here you go. They are very professional and classy-looking. I would definitely buy these again.

Comment on Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer 2 silver sticker badge domed by jameeldin https://www.retro8bitshop.com/product/radio-shack-trs-80-color-computer-2-silver-sticker-badge-domed/#comment-80249 Mon, 14 Aug 2023 18:34:45 +0000 https://www.retro8bitshop.com/?post_type=product&p=1535056#comment-80249 I bought a TRS-80 64K Color Computer 2 badge to replace one on a machine that was scraped up. I was a little worried because the replacement badge shown in the website photos has the UK spelling of “Colour,” so it wouldn’t be a direct replacement for my US model. But when the badge arrived, it had the US spelling and ended up being a great replacement. Not only that, but the domed appearance definitely makes the unit look more premium than the original badge. Highly recommended if you’re looking to spruce up your CoCo 2!

Comment on J-CIA64 6526/8521 Replacement for Commodore 64/128/1570/1571 by bakerman https://www.retro8bitshop.com/product/j-cia64-the-modern-alternative-for-the-mos6526-8521-cia-chips-for-the-commodore-64-128/#comment-80103 Fri, 11 Aug 2023 10:43:18 +0000 https://www.retro8bitshop.com/?post_type=product&p=1598463#comment-80103 It is a bit pricey compared to the still widely available original CIAs but the price points will cross someday and it is nice to finally have a replacement for those chips.
Also absolutely necessary for those building C64s without Commodore components.
So when is the J-CPU ready? 🙂

Comment on C16 Datassette 1531 – New Old Stock by BottaioRetroTech https://www.retro8bitshop.com/product/c16-datassette-1531-new-old-stock/#comment-78040 Fri, 14 Jul 2023 10:48:12 +0000 https://www.retro8bitshop.com/?post_type=product&p=1586104#comment-78040 What can i say?

It’s brand new, like as if CBM still exists.
Sure we all know that the company died many years ago, but when and where do you see and buy new Commdore stuff?

These datasettes (no matter for which system) are near indestructible.
Sure you need to do maintenance if you use them extensively, but by only using a cotton swab and (maybe replacing belt and they are as good as new!

Now with this example, it’s ofcourse very different.
NOS, so still brand new and never used!
So you’re definitely golden if they are still in stock!

Would i recommend it?
3 letters: Y, E, S!

Comment on Deluxe Commodore Suitcase for C64/VIC20/C16 by BottaioRetroTech https://www.retro8bitshop.com/product/commodore-suit-case-for-c64-vic20-c16-copy/#comment-78039 Fri, 14 Jul 2023 10:22:14 +0000 https://www.retro8bitshop.com/?post_type=product&p=1520968#comment-78039 A splendid product if you are looking for a decent suitcase for your beloved micro computer.

Quality wise there isn’t any real criticism, since these cases are definitely build with a passion for retro electronics.

The outside has a nice high quality feel to it, also feels very sturdy.
Inside is definitely a very nice and snug fit, also plenty of space for plenty of other bits.

Sadly mine had a small flaw, which can happen ofcourse.
And because of that i regretfully have to give it a score of 4 stars.

Now mind you, in general i would have gladly have given it 5 stars.
But alas, we need to be honest here and count in the error for a honest review.
Even if it’s a very simple fix.

The front plate matches nicely with the Marble case. With 4 black rubber feet with the screws. Absolutely beautiful for the Harlequin or the ZX Spectrum 48K boards.
