Re: Commodore PET front label?

Hi André,

I've got a European 4032 that looks exactly like your label. As per 
Nils' reply, I'm pretty sure it's caused by cleaning. The black 
background on some of these labels comes off very easily. In my case I 
was using aroma-free petrol to remove the glue from the remains of 
another label, which works great as petrol is usually plastic safe, 
unlike acetone. Unfortunately though, one accidental contact with the 
label immediately removed the black background, ruining the label. I 
removed the rest to make it look consistent and it looked exactly like 
yours.
