Inside the Commodore PET

 

David Watts got his hands on a Commodore Pet computer. I have never seen under the hood before, and it is quite funny that the case actually opens like a hood on a car including the prop stick to keep it open. David will be attempting to restore the PET so that it works properly again, it looks like the keyboard didn’t stand the test of time very well, there are now more keys not working than working. I am curious what will be needed to bring it back to a fully functional state. I am thinking the caps are long dried out and not doing much smoothing anymore.
