I only got an RF modulator with one of them, and it is obviously broken (signs of somebody opening modulator and cables up for examination). I was thinking that I could the VIC20(s) up just like my old C128 - with direct video output from the video connector. However, this socket is obviously of a different type from the C64 (C128) - the manual says pin 2 is GND, pin 4 VIDEO LOW, and pin 5 VIDEO HIGH. Neither of these VIDEO pins seems to work like on the C64 - I just get a grayish stripe going up and down the monitor on both of the machines. Since both of them behave the same way I presume they both are working but the video connector is acting up on me...the question: How do I connect a VIC20 (this is a PAL machine, if that matters) to a color monitor with standard VIDEO (FBAS I think) input. I can also do RGB-Analog on my monitor (used it with my Amiga as well). Any help much appreciated - I've been looking a long time for a VIC20 and when I all of a sudden find TWO of them, it kills me that I can't get any of them to work...

I have the following Commodore 64/128/Vic-20 software, hardware, and accessories for sale or trade. There are a few items that are listed as untested. When I bought these items I was told that they all worked, but due to a lack of time, I have been unable to test them myself. SALE CONDITIONS: 1) Sales are first come, first served. For faster service, please include your full postal mailing address in your reply. 2) Everything is sold as is. Unless specified, all games and systems have been tested and are in working order. I very rarely sell items that aren't working, but if I do, they are clearly labeled as such. 3) Trade offers, in particular for items that I need, will be given priority (especially if the trade offer overwhelms me). I collect for over 40 different systems, so please feel free to send me a trade list. Ask for my want lists! 4) Buyer has ten (10) days to send payment, and pays all shipping costs. Shipping cost depends on both the weight of the order and the distance that the order must travel, unless a set amount is already listed. No orders will be sent C.O.D. 5) No package deals on games or systems. All prices are clearly listed. 6) If you have a problem with the listed price, please remember that nobody is forcing you to buy from me. My personal philosophy is that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. 7) Payment must be made in U.S. funds, by either check or money order, drawn from a U.S. bank branch. Orders from outside the U.S. are also accepted. 8) I reserve the right to refuse any sale or trade offer, and to correct mistakes made while typing this message. SOFTWARE: NOTE: If the company name isn't listed, then the game was released by the same company as the system. NOTE: All cartridges are loose (ie. without box and manual), unless specified.
