HP41 battery contacts Message #1 Posted by Bob on 26 Oct 2005, 3:59 p.m. I hesitate to ask this question, but since I am not offering anything for sale, here goes. If I should post it in the classifieds let me know. Theoretically, if I found several original battery contacts for the 41C series, what are they worth ? Let's say that most are new and a couple look very lightly used. My question is, someone has asked what I might want for one. (Theirs are shot, like mine was, er, is.) I have no idea, and checked EBay for comparison but did not find anything there. I thought I would ask here. If someone knows or has a way to find out, please post.

This is metallic silver in a volatile solvent. he pens are about $A30 but one can patch up a machine pretty easily this way. There other ways you can do the repair also of course. DW

Re: HP41 battery contacts Message #6 Posted by David Smith on 28 Oct 2005, 12:34 p.m., in response to message #5 by . I have seen some blithering idiots pay over $125... A fair price based upon what a parts calculator sells seems to me to be around $30. That was what Iqbal was selling them for before somebody bought all that he had and then tried to resell them for $100+
