I still have mine, and we have a local interest group which meets once a month to discuss the 64 and other quaint devices.
Last month we were talking about Hollerith-coded punch cards.
A clever fellow in Denmark has made a device to take the place of the 64’s memory mechanisms, using solid-state drives and such. It takes some of the creaky gears out of the equation, and makes program retrieval super fast. The capacity is unbelievable.
Some people still like the 64’s music capability, and for a long time, quite a few people were transcribing music for the 64’s Sound Interface Device, or SID.
You are awesome, Bob! Thanks for your input.
LoM, you may have something in your possession that is worth more than you know to some people. Why don’t you check Craig’s List and see if there is a 64 group in your area? Someone may be willing to buy it from you. Couldn’t hoit.

Sprites were a fun feature of the C64. I had one with two (count ‘em TWO!) floppy drives, one converted to source 9.
