This VIC had a horrendously yellowed case - I did try retr0brighting it, but it didn't make much difference. So I tried re-spraying it ... it's okay, I could've done better ... but my first attempt.

Re-sprayed it many months ago but didn't have a complete keyboard for it. Finally decided on an all-white C64 keyboard, and this is the result. I believe this is an ALDI keyboard.

I'm still working on the motherboard - it's currently working (after replacing the 7402), but will do further improvements once my parts arrive from Element 14 ... waiting on 40-pin machined sockets ... ALWAYS waiting on those :( ... but will also heat-sink the main chips.

I usually socket UB7 ... the 7402 ... in case it needs to be replaced in future (as I had to in this case).
