My first computer! I bought it used in 1977/78. I paid $800 for the 32k upgraded one. I learned to program on this, but actually learned PDP-11 assembly from a book before I purchased it. Of course, not applicable to PET Basic! I loved the graphics on the PET's keys. I wrote a horse racing program (parents were into the ponies!). I stayed with Commodores - A Vic-20, Commodore 128, and then the Amiga 1000. I kept it until 1988 and let my cousin John use it. He sold it years later when I was overseas. I was bummed, but more so now. I would have loved to have had it until now for the nostalgia trip. Talk about constraints in programming. I get some of that now with PICO-8 and other toys, but nothing beats hitting PLAY to load a program!

That machine has so many chip failures I&#x27;d start to wonder if the power supply is suspect. I think he replaced over 3&#x2F;4 of the chips on the board by the end, plus several discrete components.<p>Or maybe it was put away after a lightning strike?

He was asking for advice to clean corroded IC legs and sockets (2017) and I see that he went with a new replacement board.<p>There are two ways I have seen corrosion fixed.<p>First is Brasso it cleans that black corrosion off IC legs and they look like new.<p>Sockets is harder so Google that because it usually involves acid and it&#x27;s dangerous enough that I&#x27;ll leave that for others to describe but it&#x27;s basically acid solution and a brush followed by plenty of rinsing.

I&#x27;ve got a blue-label PET 2001 in the office. Except for some iffy keys and the internal Datasette, and there&#x27;s a loose solder joint in the monitor that I&#x27;ve yet to find, it works well. The keycaps are worn but not so worn you can&#x27;t figure out what keys are what. Picked up a Tapuino I&#x27;m trying to do some work with on the secondary cassette port.

I got one of those for free in the late 80s when they were decommissioned from my school. I wrote a few programs on it, and sold it decades later. Very beautiful and interesting machine, but definitely way too bulky for someone living in a small apartment.

I had a 4032 for a while, which had a nicer keyboard, but it had green phosphors. I think green was standard with the 4016, 4032, 8032s, but I liked that blueish phosphor on the 2001 better.

I still have my PET 2001. The chassis could stop a bullet.
