Seller Claims: "USED FOR ABOUT A WEEK BACK IN THE 70'S AND BOXED SINCE"

The box looks very nice.

It all looks very nice (I have never seen original PET packaging before). However, the styrofoam is covering the view of the equipment. It looks as if there is some kind of rubbing/wear on the left side of the PET 2001 spacebar. And the line that it was only used a week and has been put away since the 70s... well, that's hard to believe.

Truly,

The value in this unit is the packaging. Personally I think of full size keyboarded 2001's as meaningless. What I do like are, chicklet keyboarded PETs because they are just wonderful pieces of history and 4000+ series because they were usable machines which I spend many thousands of hours working on.

Strangely, there are a number of chicklet PETs on eBay right now:
