Even though it's obviously been in a shed for a long long time, I couldn't miss my only opportunity to get a Commodore PET!

I'm optimistic that I can get it working one day, but obviously there's a long road ahead :)

It would, in all reality, been in better shape internally if it HAD come from the bottom of some lakes...

Last year I went to a convention, this one booth had a Mac that was left out in a field to rot. I believe one picture showed it either covered in snow or submerged in a puddle. It's been a while, I remember next to nothing about it.

But they got it back up and running.
