The machine in all it's frontal glory. Notice the decals familiar to revision A cases. Note that Commodore kept that C64 image on the packaging long after the decals were changed!
And to show what causes much jealousy for this particular machine... the incredibly low serial number!
An overview of the motherboard. Notice some strange setup in and around the VIC chip area. A lot more chips in general are socketed on the board too.
R1 PAL VIC chip. Ceramic case as all R1s were instead of the later, slightly more heat retaining plastic (black) ones. Hence not heat-sinked!
Notice that yes, some early chips for the C64 were made in Singapore. The 6581 (SID) chip in this machine also has the earliest production stamp (22nd week of 1982).
The important chips in the top left of the machine. The bottom two in the picture also have the latest production stamp (40th week of 1982).
