A few years ago before Boeing Surplus went away I
lucked out and found
an HP-67 sitting in a shopping cart behind the checkout counter. I
assumed it was something that'd already been sold, but I asked the
cashier and she said that it wasn't. I asked how much, and she said
"How's $5 sound?". Sold! I scrounged around in the cart and found the
A/C adapter as well. I don't often get that lucky :).
WOW!!
Card reader needs to be rebuilt but I'm
hesitant to open it up since it
involves removing the rear label. This one's in such good cosmetic shape
I worry about damaging it. (And honestly these days I don't know if I'd
use the card reader that much anyway...)
I wonder if there's any possibility of the gooey roller oozing onto
something else and causing more internal damage.
If it's anything like the layout of the 65 inside, it'll probably be OK
unless it goes completely liquid :).
I also have an HP-65 which appears to be broken
beyond repair, alas...
That's sad. I may have a parts '65 in FL; when I finish moving I'll
look through and put it in the box marked "Josh".
That would be awesome :). Thanks!
