Re: Commodore PET 2001
I have dismantled IBM style keyboards before but I'm nervous about doing the same with the chiclet keyboard. In particular, I understand that the key tops are a push fit on to the plungers and that a plunger can break leaving the lug embedded in the back of the key top. Not a happy thought. All this presupposes that I decide to risk Retr0brighting the keys in the first place. Perhaps I should just content myself with having a working PET although it might be fun to have some programmes/games to run on it.

Re: Commodore PET 2001
All that cadnium plated steel! Brings back memories... I never understood why they put all those dimples in it, but I've seen that on several devices of the period so there must have been a good reason...
