I tried to post direct to Patrick, but kept getting bounced; I hope that this
doesn't sound like a flame.

Grapevine Group Inc. is selling SX-64's for around $175.  They have about
75-100 units in variuos states of repair.  Working models in good shape cost
$129.00 w/o keyboard.  NEW keyboards are $42.95.  Spare keyborad cables are
$16.95.   They do not list prices for non-working units, but will sell them
to those of you who may need parts or wish to noodle with them.

Remember, the SX-64 is a C64 in a box - including a 5 inch color SONY
monitor and an internal 1541 disk drive.  To the best of my knowledge, it
is 100% C64/64C compatible.  They were considered "portable" and are the
size Kaypro used to call "transportable."  Neat little units!

Patrick, this was not meant to undercut you, but to inform folks of the
market value. (BTW - a friend of mine just bought one locally for under $100!)
