Commodore made several revisions of the VIC-20 during its product lifetime. However, I don't remember Commodore making any VIC-20s with a big red button and 3 RCA jacks on the back, along with three toggle switches on the side.

So when I talked @ActionRetro down to $5, I just had to buy this VIC-20 to see what mysteries are inside. Not that I have a shortage of VIC-20s in the Concrete Subterrain™...

Speaking of other VIC-20s, if we get done exploring this one in time, we'll look at getting the others sorted.

Will the red button end the stream? Will it work first power-up? Will we have time to work on other VIC-20s? You'll have to watch to find out!
