97 key lettering wearing off? Message #1 Posted by Hal on 3 Jan 2006, 11:57 p.m. Hi Folks, The seller of this 97 says the lettering is starting to wear off of the enter key. I thought these keys were injection moulded, meaning the lettering went all the way through the key. Comments anyone? http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-97-Programmable-Calculator-Adapter-Charger-Battery_W0QQitemZ5848417344QQcategoryZ58039QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Thanks, Hal

I've seen 97s where the "Enter" key was noticeably worn down in the center from being used so much, and the lettering was clear. I imagine the key is simply dirty.

I have had to fix several HP97 keyboards where the white part of the keys (mainly the right hand keys) has deteriorated. I flood the key with a white paint and remove the excess with a cloth and some white gas.
