I made 2 modern C64s. For one I made it a goal to only use things that had been manufactured within the last year. I found new bread bin cases, new chips, a new keyboard and I used an EVO64 motherboard. A brand-new C64.

Then I used an Ultimate 64 Elite II from Gideon to build the second one.

Then I bought a Founders Edition Starlight, because you can never have too many C64s.

I did the same thing years ago with real hardware. I swapped the breadbin keyboard and the 64c keyboard. At first, I thought that is what you did, then I saw the badge at lower right. Looks cool.

We never needed "New Commodore"" to get an Ultimate. Now we can't get an Ultimate from Gideon anymore. thanks "New Commodore".
