New run of C64C casing coming in three colors
I knew someone bought the C64C molds a while back and now it appears we'll be able to get white, blue, or red cases if this Kickstarter is funded.

@Oswald - I didn't find the molds, this guy Dallas did. He found them last year at a warehouse and bought them at auction. |

@ HCL : yes, it'll fit! i've got an old board in a c64c case - but there are no holes for the screws to hold the old keyboard in place (i don't know about the new casing in the link above). it's not a big problem though - i used a small piece of wood so i didn't need to glue or drill anything. |

Yeah, The C64 C case will happily fit all versions of the C64 motherboard. There's even screw holes for both "short" and "long" boards. After all the first C64 C models came with the same MB as late breadbins. The switch to new MB and chipset was few years later.
Like nomistake says, the keyboard needs some support to hold it in place. There's sheet metal profiles originally. So something's needed - unless these molds are for the late case, where the keyboard is simply clipped on to the top half of the case. But I guess not - afaik those cases had the Commodore logo embossed into the case instead of a sticker.
And what Mr. SID said :/ |

I got all three but realized that I only want the red and the blue. If anyone's interested in taking the white one off my hands (obviously for less than kicking a single case), send a PM. |

lame quest: let me get things straight, this guy found those molds 30 yrs ago and want to produce "new" ones or he is
selling those founded oldie goldie molds? if the latter is
correct , why ffs he need kickstarter , can't he just simply
sell them through Ebay ? |
