Commodore History | Exploring an early silver-label Commodore 64 @commodorehistory | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Enjoy this fairly thorough discussion of Commodore64 serial #S00001450, which was the 450th Commodore 64 ever to roll off the assembly line. This video focuses mostly on historical discussion rather than technical and it concludes with a demo of this perfectly working, all-original specimen along with a bonus comparison of this c64 and a later 64C both playing the intro of Epyx World Games such that you may compare the audio and video from the early and later versions of the Commodore 64.

Thanks and credit go to:
