Hi list,
You may remember the big stack of HP85s/HP86Bs I pulled from a
dumpster a few months ago.
They've been stored away safely since then, and now I'd like to get
started testing them so that I can get them sold. Tony recommended
running the power supplies on a dummy load to make sure that none of
them are duds. I have a handy bag of Big Resistors that I can make
dummy loads out of, however, (in an 86B at least, I've not been into
the 85s yet) there's a 10-conductor cable coming out of the PSU and
I've no idea what sort of load it might want to see and on which pins.
Get the service manuals, etc. off of the DVD produced by "The Museum of HP
Calculators":

There's lots of wonderful infomation on options, Journal articles, etc. on the
DVD.
Cheers,
Lyle
