You Know your a Commodore Fan when....

[quarkx]

Hey all,
More on my Blog,
I just got back from the local thrift store and picked up this beauty!
I thought it was just a file Cabnet, but since it was a Commodore I had to have it. Low and behold its a DESK! I will get better photos of it later when I have my good camera back, but I am rushed today to go for our Amicue user group and I have to work tonight.
For those that want specs, its 48 inches high and 29 inches long, 18 inches deep. once i clean it up, I probably will put my A600 in it. and it does have a file drawer. Here, cheap new file cabnets can be bought for $50, I got this for $40 and it went to charity!

Commodore had all sorts of office equipment divisions at one point including a metal cabinet company.

Anyway, Jack Tramel (not wanting to invest in a more expensive plastic case) had the metal cabinet people make the enclosure for the PET computer.

I could be wrong, but I think the Commodore office furniture was only sold in Canada (posibly the US also) but they were selling the office stuff long before the computers. Started in the mid '60's I think. The Commodore file cabnets, are the most popular, you still see them all over the place here, but I have never seen a desk/wall unit and there seems to be nothing on the net about the office furniture other than a few pictures of a file cabnet.
