Except that after the initial model, the PET's case was plastic, or rather, structural foam, with no shielding applied to it all.

After the initial 2001 model, Commodore used a mix of materials, with some models made of all metal and some of a metal/plastic hybrid (metal base, plastic top), according to this website: https://www.zimmers.net/cbmpics/cbm/PETx/petfaq.html (look for "WHAT MODELS OF THE PET ARE THERE?")
Source? Every Commodore PET I've ever come across had a metal chassis. Commodore64s and VICs had plastic ones.
Interesting. I didn't know that.
