Hi gang, after buying a PET 8032 the other day, I decided to dig out the other PET I have had in the attic for ages.
Turns out it's a PET 2001-8C, in quite nice shape except for the front label missing:
It turns on and shows a more or less expected garbled screen. I'll get to fixing it later, but for now I wondered about the blue phosphor screen. I usually see white or green, but this is distinct blue. It doesn't turn to white when turning up contrast. Photos of low and high contrast settings, high contrast might seem white-ish, but in real life it's very blue:
Anybody know if there's anything special about this?
