Re: HP-65 without yellow labels for shifted functions Message #6 Posted by Les Wright on 14 Feb 2007, 10:51 a.m., in response to message #5 by allen
Allen, in the right hands this could be a good fixer-upper. A proper repair job from FixThatCalc to get it working mechanically, and an overlay created from a good quality photo could transform this into a pretty useful workaday machine.
In the worst case it is usable for parts. A lot of Classics with dying LEDs could use a transplant out there!
I have learned after my fiasco with the HP80 that faded or lost lettering is not the end of the world--good quality paper, sharp scissors, and a laser or inkjet printer can create an overlay that is serviceable and, in my case, almost attractive!
