Its easier when you remember that they sold *millions* of them.  Quite a few
have simply been thrown away.  A saturday search of swapmeets turns up 30 or
more easily.  There are also modern C64 clones available for cheap ( yes,
with the SID fully implmented on an FPGA, just add external filters for
which the hooks have been provided ).
