Re: HP-41CV without serial number! Message #2 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 21 Oct 2003, 9:53 p.m., in response to message #1 by Nelson M. Sicuro (Brazil)
Hi,
I can't say anything about the electrical problems of your calc, but about the nonexistent serial number.
Those 'virginal' cases were used for replacement units by HP,
and could be ordered from HP by companies which made custom accessories.
For example, I once worked for a company in Germany where HP-41 cardreader housings w/o serial numbers were used as containers for RAMBoxes (Guess the name;-)
Raymond
BTW: I also have a new and empty HP-41 housing w/o serial number
