   They bring the old stuff, but yet they do not plan to sell any of that, not   
   even parts. Nice attempt to cash in on the past, I'd say. I understand   
   Commodore is a small company nowadays, so even addressing our small   
   community could be profitable and remunerative, in perspective.   
      
   In those pictures I spotted what looks like to be a 1701 ( or 1702 ) and a   
   1541-II. What Commodore 64 they had? Was it the old breadbox or a C model?
