UPDATE: this little pup has been claimed! Thank you everyone for your interest and support!
Can you make good use of an original Commodore PET computer? This one is yours for free if you can pick it up in Los Angeles (near USC). My parents bought it in 1978. It has the famous chiclet keyboard and integral cassette tape drive. It doesn't work at this point, which someone told me is probably due to some bad RAM chips but I don't actually know. The screen shows random squares when it's on.
Boosts for reach appreciated.
ETA: email me at adrian@foutu.org or DM me here.

@AdrianRiskin I learned to program on this exact model… standing at the counter in an elektronics shop, with two others on our school lunch breaks, daily. Don’t think I have the cassettes anymore. 🤣

@AdrianRiskin Aww, man! This was the compy I first got to use at summer Computer Camp in the very early 80s!

@AdrianRiskin Your generosity is noted. There the same exact model listed on Ebay for $1575. It is listed as working however.

@AdrianRiskin is it still available? I might be able to ask a friend to pick it up.
