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.

@WWeeta @AdrianRiskin Same! In my elementary school library, it was the first computer I wrote code on.

@bradwilson @WWeeta it was my third. My high school computer club built an Altair 8800 which had BASIC and before that I was lucky enough to have access to a PDP-11 at UCLA via teletype and an acoustic modem.
