Well done Wolfgang,
I've been trying to help a guy here in New Zealand with one with my limited
technical knowledge (see:

It seems he has pretty limited electronics skills though and it may be a
bridge too far.

Subject: New in collection: HP-85a
Hi folks,
today I got a HP-85a for my collection (got it from a workmate whose
father
died recently). It's in good physical and optical condition, very little
signs of use. With the machine came 2 tape carts, one 16k mem-board, a
spare
roll of thermal paper, the user manual and a BIG carrying-case for the
machine and the parts. After a quick check (psu) I turned the whole thing
on
and - whoopee, it's behaving like as it was new :D
Sorry for the spam, but I wanted to share my happyness.
Regards,
Wolfgang
