Building a beautiful acrylic Commodore PET

Yes, but I tend to stick to stuff I know. I'd be lost making a video about those.

Have you ever thought about making videos about Soviet Era home computers from the USSR of the 80s like the Micro-80?

And a bag of clear headphones to go along with it!

I have some guitar pedals...and the standard power for them is 9VDC center negative...but I do have one pedal that is 9VAC... I carefully labeled all of the bricks so I don't plug the wrong thing in.

Oops... you're correct. I meant center positive. Senior moment I guess. Yep, pulling out extra speakers can be annoying.

David Blake

Umm.. I think you got it backwards. The port on the rear is center-positive. And I actually made it that way to avoid any confusion in the future. As for the Tandy monitor.. sure I could use external speakers. But that's annoying when there are monitors that have speakers I could use, so I'd really prefer to just go that route.

The 8-Bit Guy

Great case and video. For the case, my only suggestion might be to relabel the power jack on the back "CENTER NEGITIVE" to avoid any later confusion. And when using the Tandy monitor, how about using an external powered speaker like many old PCs used?

David Blake

Sure. It's LC-15SH6U

The 8-Bit Guy

That would fit really well with it! I don't ever come across those, but if I do, maybe I'll pick one up!

The 8-Bit Guy

Very cool. Would you mind sharing the model number of the Sharp TV?

Brian Lawson

Well, the SHARP display speaks for itself!

Excellent!!! Looks so good. Will you have another acrylic case made for the double diskette drive?

I expect you'll be getting a *lot* of comments about clear Prison TVs to match your PET.

This case looks fantastic! I wonder if you could have swapped the pin header for a 90 degrees one, so the connector could lay flat on the motherboard?

Cool case indeed, good job! And I see you have a very fancy unsoldering tool now that makes me jealous?!? 😃 And have you thought about putting a better speaker and speaker grille into the case? I see you still have plenty of room there.

Another great video! Such a joy to watch. Thank you David!!
