My PET 2001-32N (badged as a 3032 in Europe) was $1195
with a C2N and no
disk...
I got a lot of miles out of that PET. I still have it and it still
fires up (but I think I have an IEEE problem that may turn out to be
cruddy 40-pin sockets on the VLSI I/O chips).
Way back when, the company bought a 2032 for stock control and invoicing,
used for 5 years or so.
After about a year it continually needed opening up and the chips reseating,
got so frustrated with this that we replaced ALL the Ic sockets with "turned
pin" types and never had anymore problems with that machine ever again.
