Thanks for the links.
I love the bright colours of the PET2001. Not entirely sure how the external keyboard
would work though. Is there a slot for the cable when the unit is closed, or would you
have to keep it slightly ajar when in use?
There is a gap of several millimeters between the white lid and the
black base.
I used to have a 3-button external "keyboard" for playing Space
Invaders on my PET 2001-32N. It was wired in parallel with the A, 4,
and 6 keys ("fire", "left" and "right" for the game), and
the wires
just snuck out the front of the case in that gap.
I stll have the wiring harness and the arcade buttons (and the PET),
but I think the wood box went away a long, long time ago.
