Discontinued, hell!  The C64 is currently selling at the rate of
700,000 units annually, and is the sole reason that Commodore's
factory is still open (the Amiga chips are licensed out third parties
for manufacturing).  You can probably get a 64C for ~$100 and a 1541
drive for <$100.  You could hook it up to a TV, or use a composite
capable monitor such as the 1084S, which runs for about $300.
