Ok, for some reason I didn't get the replies to my post on email, I only saw
them when I looked at the http://cbm-hackers.2304266.n4.nabble.com listing.
I re-subscribed, perhaps it'll work now and hopefully this gets thrue.

Thanks for all comments!

The manual speaks of "VIC 20" or "CBM 64", the only other Commodore products
mentioned are VIC-1540 floppy and VIC-1515 printer so it sounds much like a
product of the VIC-20/very early C64 days. It's fascinating if the switch
indeed was later upgraded to C128 bust mode.

I took some more photos of the boards, here:

I didn't yet tried to beep out where the traces under the ICs go but I'll
have another go at it later.

I replaced the (loose and oxidized) barrel DC connector with a 2-pin Phoenix
connector (which doesn't obstruct from the case, looks better) and powered
it up. At about 17v input I got a nice +5v and +15v outputs from the
regulators and the power led was on. 

Now, I need to figure out how to find enough space to come up with a test
setup for this... :)
