Commodore VIC-20 Latch Repair - Case Repair

thingiverse

I fixed one of my broken VIC-20s the other day, only to find that the latches where all broken so the case won't close properly. I designed and printed these replacement latches. The 15mm is the one for my case. I used a C16 to help design the latch and noticed it also had a 10mm latch so I've included that also. Print out the number of latches you need. Make sure they fit between the existing supports. You may want to test fit using packing tape or something to hold them in place to make sure everything line up on you VIC. Use epoxy to secure the new latches to the case. I used J-B weld epoxy. The epoxy goes on the ribs, this side is attached to the case. Line up the top of the ribs with the edge of the case. Clamp, and let the epoxy fully cure. Re-assemble the case and enjoy!
