Excellent picture!! I loved my old computers, I started on the Sinclair ZX81, then moved onto the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k, Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128k and then finally an Amiga 600HD, I loved my days with the basic computers, I was able to write programs to make them do whatever I needed!
I could give copied photos but I can't find any that I have taken all those years ago.
Do you still use yours? I take it your a bit of a retro gamer!? I've just downloaded a great Spectrum Emulator from the app store with inbuilt games, brought back many happy memories! If only 'Ultimate Play The Game' would have brought a compilation out before disappearing!!! I loved the Atic Atac and Sabre Wulf style games!

Great job!
I used some Jif cream to clean it with a rag including cleaning the datasette
You did a great job, Nathan. You could really help a lot of people who needs help to get their computers cleaned up like that!
Certainly nice to see how excited you are about your computers! They are wonderful aren't they?

Yes I'd cry if my Vic 20 died

I think life was simpler in the old 8-bit days. I certainly do not mourn the passing of cassette based data storage, however. The 1541 was high on my list of priorities when I had a C64.
And Elite was possibly the best computer game ever written. I would love to see an iPad version.

Do you know how to change the device number of the second 1541 so that you can use them together on the same machine? If not, I can just about remember how to do it.
You have to cut a jumper inside to change it from device 8 to device 9. If you can get hold of it, there was a great program for really getting to the guts of a C64. It was called Sysres and it was probably the equivalent of jailbreaking in those far off days.
It gave loads of extra commands, such as OLD, for restoring a program when you had accidentally typed NEW and watched several hours of programming disappear. It also made the C64 default to disk instead of tape for saving.
