There is a gap of several millimeters between the white lid and the
black base.

I used to have a 3-button external "keyboard" for playing Space
Invaders on my PET 2001-32N.  It was wired in parallel with the A, 4,
and 6 keys ("fire", "left" and "right" for the game), and the wires
just snuck out the front of the case in that gap.

I stll have the wiring harness and the arcade buttons (and the PET),
but I think the wood box went away a long, long time ago.
