Perfect restoration of a 1977 Commodore PET 2001, Part 1
About this video
Case, built-in monitor and microelectronics all get attention as the maker restores a 1977 Commodore PET 2001, one of the earliest home microcomputers, in part 1 of a series.
Good to know: Tube and flyback hold a high voltage charge after unplugging. A knocked or cracked tube can implode, so protect your eyes and never lift it by the neck. Mains voltage is inside the set.
Why watch it
The maker calls the restoration very invasive, with no expense spared on the result, and sets it against restoration videos the maker calls fake. This is part 1.
