Commodore PET Labels

This is a collection of labels and bezels from the various PET/CBM computers. Most of these pictures originally came from ebay or the web and have been cropped as required.

Original PETs come in several flavours. There are the original "high profile" (HP) units and the later "low profile" (LP) units. The HP models could have a label or a plastic bezel. The plastic bezel models seem to be designed to allow two floppy drives to be mounted.

New PETs come in a stylishly rounded case with swivel monitor and detached keyboard ("SK"). The cases were originally designed for the CBM-II line.

In North America Commodore used the PET name, but had to change it to CBM for the European market.

If you have pictures of any PET labels not shown here, please send them to me so I can update this page! Thanks!

New Commodore PET-SK Labels

1 8032-SK The SK models were updated with the CBM-II casing. The labels fit over the space where the dual drive units would go. This one-column format consists of a plastic insert with metal plate mounted on top.
2 8096-SK -
3 8296 These brown bezels have the white area printed on, which seems to yellow easily.
4 8296 These brown bezels have the white area printed on, which seems to yellow easily.
5 200 An 8296 in disguise.
6 220 The 200 series are really 8296 machines. The 220 has the drives as shown. Since the drives are installed, the label is actually mounted above the opening.
7 8296D Top of the line 8296 with internal 8250LP disk drives.
8 8296D But with no drives... hmmmmm.
