Oh, so many machines. COSMAC! QL! System/23! Vectrex! P50! H8! (And the usual suspects too, although I don’t see a PET)

Saw a Kaypro 2 on a table. I still have mine in the basement. A BeBox, those were fun, and a Heathkit H8 with the proper Heathkit terminal for it. I forget the model number of the Terminal. I remember going to the Heathkit store in the late 70s playing with that very setup.
There were at least two PET 2001s, and at least one other model with more modern, not calculator-styled keys. I just somehow managed to completely miss getting pictures of them.
I know this because I sold an NPK-101 keyboard at the show, which is a somewhat obscure, 3rd party, full-sized keyboard for the 2001. I approached the 2001 owners to see if they’d be interested in it. Another guy at a booth across from one of them wound up buying it from me. He did not have a PET 2001 at the show, but had one at home.
There’s an ad for the NPK-101 in the lower-right corner of this page from the March 1979 issue of Byte magazine.
Here are a couple of pictures of the one I sold…
I found it in a local electronics surplus store’s junk shelf. They had no idea what it was. I bought it months ago specifically to take to VCF. I don’t have a PET, but I figured that someone there might be interested in it. I just wanted to make sure it got to someone that knew what it was and had a use for it.
Mission accomplished.
