Double the deck!

[the publish date is retroactively published]

I had two cassette desks back in the day, as I found out that some games load on one, and not on the other, also I want to be able to rotate my peripherals so I can keep the wear and tear down to a minimum. My first C2N came with no box and manual, so I fixed that. I then found a CIB (complete in box) C2N, which had been retrobrighted and its azimuth restored, it also came to compete with the polystyrene! The deck is in one bag and its cable in another, so the cable doesn’t eat into the plastic. These look like cigarette burns, but they aren’t. It’s a chemical reaction caused by the chemicals in the cable to keep it flexible.

Also, the main idea is to recreate the Mind Benders/Night Moves C64C bundle, so that I have a CIB (Complete In Box) collection. The other ultimate idea is to have a C64C Reloaded so that I have a ‘new’ C64C that I don’t have to worry about the refurbished one too much.
