    Asking for help from you guys n gals yet again due to my own stupidity... yet again :/ So I pulled on a mass of cables, one of which belonged to my Commodore Vic-20 which was living on top of my CRT. Seems I'd left the RAM cart in and the 1-2 foot drop was just too much for the old plastic. As you can see it shattered, but I think the innards are okay. So here's where I need the help: Does anyone know where I can either buy dead ram so that I may salvage the case or reproduction shells (or even cheap working RAM)?
    I'm from the UK so shipping from the US may be out of the question if eBay shipping is anything to go by and just because I'm a bit too particular; any case would need to be as similar as possible to the one I had before I was so dumb. Open to any and all suggestions but please remember I'm trying to save money at the same time. Thanks folks!

    There's actually loads of them on ebay. Some even quite cheap. Have a look if you haven't already.

    I had a look and found a page, if that. Only one was the same and including shipping it was pretty expensive. What was it you searched? I typed in 'commodore ram vic-1111'

    I just searched "commodore ram" and browsed quickly.

    I will say, saying "there's loads" was a bit of an exaggeration.. I didn't realise a majority of them were 8k, sorry. This one is your best bet though.

    Ah that's awesome, I didn't see that one. My bad, I never usually bid and just go straight to 'buy it now'... I'll keep my eye on that one! Cheers mate :)
