Albert Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hello! I plan on dragging a ton of game consoles and displays to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, but with a larger booth this year I want to setup even more systems than I had last year! The biggest problem is coming up with enough displays. If anyone has any Commodore 1702 monitors they can either: 1) Sell and ship to me before the show. 2) Let me borrow for the duration of the show. That would be fantastic! I'll also entertain televisions that are 20" or larger, as I can use those to highlight some of the newer games. Televisions should have S-Video input for optimal quality (although composite input will work as well), and you should have the remote for the TV. Please post here or contact me if you can help! Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have a Commodore 1084 D in the box I'm looking to sell! (same one you used last year from me) I can't believe I still have this. LOL if you're interested... have you found any yet? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi, Al. I have a 1702 that you can have for the price of shipping. The only issue is that the plastic case is cracked in a corner. Works great, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpressed Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Here's a pic of the damage (what happens when you use newspaper to pack a complete C64 setup). We need someone with an IROC Z to lend us his jar of Bondo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need someone with an IROC Z to lend us his jar of Bondo. Ouch! I have some 1702s that don't work and not sure I'll have time to troubleshoot them before the show. I could swap your monitor into one of the better cases I have. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I was able to pick up two Commodore 1702s locally this evening! The owner, who purchased them new "back in the day", was going to give them to me for free, but I gave him some cash. Haven't tested them yet, but will do so soon. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was driving home from work last month on a Saturday afternoon and it looked like somebody had had a tag sale and left a few items that didn't sell at the end of their driveway. One of them was a 1702 monitor. Stopped and grabbed it. It works perfectly. Even has the door! Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just picked up a nice 27" Sony flatscreen CRT someone via Craigslist. Probably will display Space Rocks on this sucker. Now I just need a few more 20" sets. And more 1702s. ..Al Edit: Man, looks like I took that photo with a potato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
