Calling all Commodore 64 owners!
I'm in desperate need of two items which I can't find anywhere: C64 game paddles, and a C64 mouse (preferably 1351).
If you have either of these and are willing to sell/give them away, please contact me!

NoExcuse couldn't you make your own paddles for the C64 with the pinouts? I am not too sure you can do the same thing with a regular mouse and convert it down to a 9 pin or what ever pinout you need for the C64...

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

I have vintage Atari 2600 game paddles... but I can't part them them for obvious reasons.
Never had a C64 mouse. I'm guessing you tried ebay for both?
I have a C64 too... unfortunately, it's infested with Weed
Seriously - it is no longer functional. Wish I knew how to fix it. The computer itself was non functional when I fired it up last two years ago. The disc drive actually bit the dust while shooting the intro to Weed Killer 2 - it kept spinning for no reason after a while and would not stop until powered down (and then start up again when powered up).
Good luck with your C64 treasure hunt.
Of course, post pics if/when you get 'em.

Good idea! It would be awesome to have some original Commodore paddles, but if I can find out how to make some DIY ones that would be cool too. I could do a custom paint job and make them look like Tron paddles!

Sorry to hear about your Commodore! You'd better get Weed out of there before he causes any more damage!
I've found someone selling some 1351 mice for $40 to the UK with shipping, but it seems a bit much - that's more than I paid for the C64 itself, with games, datasette and manuals!

I got my paddles from an atari place-- they'll work just fine.
Nikster showed it to me once. :3

Yep...Atari 2600 controls will work with C64 stuff, they're identical, except for the colors.
Also, Sega Genesis (and I *think* Sega Master System) control pads will work too...except for you'll only be able to use one of the buttons. So if you're used to the more modern game controllers, that should work for you.

Dang, sorry to hear that.
You may want to try opening it up to see if there's any loose connections, but take that advice with a pinch of salt, especially if you're not hardware-savvy. That's not to say you should literally put a pinch of salt in the mouse, but you know what I mean.
I actually had a similar problem with a Dreamcast lightgun a while back, the thing worked, but the triggers didn't work. Opened it up, and the thing was covered with dried out and very sticky cola which was keeping the trigger sensors from detecting the triggers. Cleaned it off, and it worked like new.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online
