Hi guys,
You may (or may not) be interested in some issues I've had with my Commodore
PET. ?It's certainly educated me about the vunerablility of old sockets.

I have a 2001N/3032 that we bought semi-new in the late 1970s (an
in-warranty return to the dealer). After all these years, the IEEE
interface is a bit flaky, and it appears to be the 40-pin sockets for
the VLSI I/O chips. I've replaced 2 sockets, 2 to go.
