HP-85 Refurb Questions Message #1 Posted by Steven Kutoroff on 14 Feb 2004, 4:51 p.m.
I acquired an HP-85 which works, but needs some refurbishment.
I just ordered some belts for the printer, one problem solved (soon).
Next issue is with the keyboard. A number of the keys are very sticky, seems to be plastic to plastic friction (with grime). What is the best means of restoring the keys to full function? I am planning on removing the keyboard, the key caps, and then using a electrical spray cleaner. If any keys remain sticky, I was going to use silicon spray on them. Is this OK?
Finally, looking for new toys for it. Will the 82909A RAM 128K Memory card module work in an HP-85 made in April 1982 with an IO ROM (no mass memory ROM)?
My email is as above, but drop the * z *.
Thanks!
