Re: HP-41C with silver trim and HP25C oddities Message #10 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 28 Jan 2003, 9:02 p.m., in response to message #9 by David Smith
Hi;
these are the ones I consider collectibles. Once I saw a coin with a deffective press (half the image) and I thrown it away. I mentioned this fact a few weeks later and I was told this sort of "deffective" serial product should not leave the factory, mostly if it's money. That would worth a lot of money for collectors.
I never thought about that!
When I was at the university (early 80's) I saw an HP11C with a 15C's logo. It was indeed an HP11C, and I thought that would also be a collectible. Now I know the logo is replaceable, and I have one HP15C that I did not glue the logo back, it is without it. Not so strange...
But the [HEWLETT-PACARD 25] front label cannot be removed easily without being destroyed, so these rwo babes are, for me, to be collected. As that deffective coin of mine...
Keep them well, ahn?
Cheers.
