But what if... Message #4 Posted by Mike on 6 Feb 2002, 10:19 a.m., in response to message #1 by Spice_Man
Say you already have a 41CV or CX that is nice except for the battery contact assembly.
Sure, you might be able to find a "clean working 41C" for less but what would you do? You already have the 41CV with bad contact. Would you rather buy a 41C and ruin it to get an assembly for the 41CV or spend a few dollars more for a replacement contact assembly?
The contact assembly is the hardest part to replace on an HP-41. About the only place you can get them are from 41s that are completely destroyed. Otherwise, you can restore the 41 itself.
Yes, all parts are equally hard to replace but the contact assembly is the one that is likely to be bad.
I think the prices are just about right for this part.
