No kidding! It has been a while. I've pretty much been lurking
without much to say here since I lost all my toys in the fires two
years ago. Managed to replace a couple Heathkit units since then but
with prices what they are, it'll never be what it was.
I did score a PET 2001-8 that seems complete to include the keyboard
(with keys missing). Been watching EBay for parts boxes but even
those are usually serious money now. I'll keep watching though! I was
hoping someone had already put some effort into 3d printing the keys
as a solution - figured someone here would know about if it was done.
Mike Stein pointed me at a complete set of replacement labels for the
key tops so that's start.
Enjoy! Happy Holidays!

Hi Steve.
(Long time no talk.)
My suggestion to you, as abhorrent as it may seem, is to buy a
complete PET
2001, take your 3 keycaps, and part the rest out. Preferably one
that's in
crap shape. They aren't that uncommon.

OK.. Now that you mention it, I do have a CBM PET question. I'm
searching for replacement key tops for the chicklet keyboard. There are
stems available (apparently 3d printed) on EPay but no caps. Any
suggestions on where to look? I have the keyboard and it seems a
little silly to spend $300 on EPay if I only need 3 keys

Apples and Coco's and C64's would be the common sublist
As much as I enjoy these machines, I ask that we do not create yet
another list for them. There are many fine forums for all of these
machines. The occasional PET or VIC question in here surely won't
ruffle too many feathers, and those of us who know quite a bit about
these machines can redirect the OP elsewhere if needed.
