The item to guess was a Commodore 64 motherboard.. Yes I left a small clue in the image, bottom center of the upper board. There were lots of eagle eyed people that found the clue! Good job. The winner is Casey B.

Thanks to all who entered.

  3. i’m wondering, what’s the round thing on the multitool? a laser pointer? a blowtorch


  4. I think it is an LED flashlight.
    As for the thing in the pictures, yep I have one somewhere around here… Lots of fun memories.


  5. Ah, those things are a little before my time 🙂


  6. Hi Kevin,

    Mike guessed your answer correct, it is indeed a small LED flashlight. Sorry there is no prize for that. 😉
    I too have some fond memories of this board in use.


  7. *** *** of the *** mainboard etc.

    Anyway, this contest is far too easy.


  8. Hi Default,

    You found the one hint that I left for the eagle eyed person. I left that there on purpose but I removed some details in your comment that would make it even easier to guess.

    I didn’t think this one was as easy as it seems to be…

    Look out for next weekend, it will be much harder. 🙂


  9. You missed to erase a spot where it gives exactly the answer… 😀 (But it was obvious anyway…) 🙂
