Question for all HP-35 red dot owners out there Message #1 Posted by Frank Boehm on 9 Mar 2006, 4:14 p.m. Hello, could you please check your red dot and compare it to the picture I uploaded to flickr? http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=110209860&size=l The print is rather "creme white" and not molten into the surface like on all my other HP-35s. What's your red dot like? (I received a HP-70 prototype together with this top shell part, so I assume it might be a prototype part as well. Just want to know ;) )

Re: Question for all HP-35 red dot owners out there Message #3 Posted by Museum on 15 Mar 2006, 6:12 p.m., in response to message #1 by Frank Boehm Finally I had the time to have a look at all my RedDots... I can attest your discovery: There is a type with painted legends that is really white shining. A second type is more cremy / ivory-colored. The colour of these legends are molded into the surface. Take a look at the serial: The clear white version seems to be older (mine is very low - 1143A00XXX and belonged to a ex-amager of HP, as it has a special Label with itīs name instead of "HEWLETT*PACKARD"). Maybe these white shells were only produced to special persons.I remember a personal discussion with Wlodek that there might have been a second production run of RedDots to the 5th anniversary of the HP-35, only for higher managers....

Re: Question for all HP-35 red dot owners out there Message #5 Posted by Michael on 16 Mar 2006, 9:04 a.m., in response to message #4 by Museum Please could you send me those images to my e-mail address, too? Do you have a look to the famous Red Dot switch (without the top keyboard cover). I can't inspect it in my HP 35, since I should damage the instruction label, which is clearly undesirable ;-)
