Hello! And welcome.

This looks like a vic1001 mainboard that's missing the top heat sink. The
fact that it says "made in japan" on the board makes me think that the
first european vic 20s may have had their boards imported frome japan.

I have a vic 20 with a low serial number that i can open up and check later
today.
