It was being sold as a regular, untested Commodore VIC 20 with no power supply (or anything else but the unit itself), but it was pretty clear that there was nothing regular about it. I bought it because it was unique and the price was cheap, although I knew nothing about it. I watched the 8-Bit Guy's video on it, but it just raised more questions. Anyway, what is this thing worth, and what can I do with it (besides play VIC-20 games, as he showed in the video)? Here's a pic:

It's an audio recording synchroniser. It interfaces with tape machines and instruments:

Yeah it's pretty useless for me, but it's a nice display item. It does play Vic-20 games, but you have to make sure that they don't require the keyboard, which this is mostly lacking. Wonder what it's worth...
