How could I help but love a programmable calculator built entirely out of discrete components and that's almost as old as I am? I'm trying to find manuals, magnetic cards, and technical information for this desktop wonder. If HP has spare parts for this thing I might even buy some. Although the calculator works perfectly, there are small things like the little light that illuminated the "z temporary/y accumulator/x keyboard" sign that has burned out, and some plastic protector for the cheat sheet that slides out of the bottom of the case had a foam or fuzz coating that has since decomposed into a gummy mess. I'd love to restore this item to as pristine a condition as possible. -- Steve VanDevender stevev@greylady.uoregon.edu "Bipedalism--an unrecognized disease affecting over 99% of the population.
