The early 38Cs were like yours >too. I've been collecting and repairing HP calcs on the side for about 30 years and I've never seen one built like the one in your photos. Perhaps I'm leading a charmed life or haven't seen enough calculators. (Most common repair is rebuilding battery packs and cleaning out the damage caused by leaking cells). > > Now to get it back together... > >:-) It's back to gether and working with no broken plastic. Never mind that I initially installed the LED assembly backwards, missed on the slide switches, and had a difficult time with the battery board. It's been a while since I've worked on these, and you're right, the design sucks. >Well, it may be 25 years old, but I still love this >calculator. And I didn't see any on Ebay. That's a bad >sign I think. More like 30 years. Search again for hp35c and hp35e. There's one of each for sale. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl(a)cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
