That makes some sense... it was a way to turn the back of the C64 around to face you for convenient unplugging of carts. Thing is... I've been a C64 fan for decades and never saw this before. I just would have imagined a product that was publicly released to have been seen. Any chance you can find said advert?
I've scanned a number of 'collections' on archive.org this morning. You know what's amazing? After decades, I still recognized some of the 'cover' images on many of those magazines, especially the ones I looked at most often. I couldn't find the advert so far. What I seem recall is that the image in the advert was one of those illustrations where it looks like someone put tracing paper over a photograph and traced the image below by hand.
I'll keep looking when I've got some downtime and will message you if I find anything. Looking forward to the video either way.
