If it's a small store, maybe bring the C64 and try them out right there. > > The ones I bought work well as replacements for my original breadbox and C64Cs that are (now: were) missing screws. > > And yes, I have a C64C from the end of 1990 that only uses screws for the board, everything else uses plastic clips, including the keyboard mount.
