I know what you mean about a PET 4032 being elusive.
It's one model I
haven't run across yet.
I sold one about 4 years ago for UKP20 (about $30).
I do have a 4016 I need to repair - someone on
this list used to use it when it was at UC Santa Barara, IIRC - it has a
laboratory I/O package - BNCs and banana jacks in a metal box off to the
right side, and a small card cage inside that sits on the two 40-pin
expansion connectors. It's one of the ones that Commodore prevented from
being upgraded by perforating the motherboard at the upper 16K positions.
It can be restored, but there are several 3/8" holes and missing pads
and traces to work around.
I remember upgrading a few like that in the early '80s. The college
deliberately bought 4106s becasue the cost of memory was lower than the
price difference, and we were a bit cheesed off to find those drilled
holes. I upgraded them anyway, it just took a little longer.
