#CBM Pet 2001 Questions
Commodore Technology Depreciation Study, Lesson One
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison Surplus Store this morning, I bought the
following:
Pet 2001-8, SN#0032606, chiclet keyboard, integrated Datassette, Skyles
expansion kybd, mono output mod, Expandamem memory expansion. Random
characters on screen.
Pet 2001-32N, SN#0805222, reg. kybd, mono output mod, working fine.
Pet 2001-32N, SN#0805896, reg. kybd, keyboard sticky, (OK w/Skyles) mono output
mod, Micro Technology Unlimited "keyword graphics package".
Other: Dual Disk Drive 2024, Matrix Printer 2023, external Datassette.
Software: WordPro 3+, TCL Pascal, Math Strategy Linear Search Games, Pet User
Group disks 2-6, PET user manual, Hurkle on tape.
All for $25. In fact, there were four Pet 2001s in this bundle, except I sold
one 2001-16N to someone in the parking lot for $10, so for $15. (A member of
the Amiga user group, as it turned out. 🙂 By comparison, I bought a two
postal scales for $12. So now you know what old CBM hardware is worth. Any
good ideas about what these would be good for? Should I start the Otis Redding
Memorial Reef in Lake Mendota?
