Is anybody selling good backlabels for HP-65/67/35 ? Message #1 Posted by jbssm on 1 June 2006, 5:48 p.m. Hello, in the following of the thread we had some time ago (ok perhaps a bit out of it, but it was mentioned there). Can you point me to someone who makes nicely done backlabels for older HP Calculator models? Or perhaps some good technique to do them? I think the worst part is to find a medium were to print them, the label seems to be made from a metal sheet and I doubt a normal printer can print on it.

They are somewhat thicker from the originals but great quality and fidelity. I've used one on an Hp-70 I've sold in this auction. Sorry but my digital pictures are SO bad and blurred that they don't show how nice the labels are. They ARE crisp! Etienne

I just wanted to ask: 1 - Did you had any problem with customs? Customs taxes and all. 2 - How much did you pay if it's not a big indiscretion from my part? :) 3 - Are the labels made of paper or of metal like the original ones? Thanks a lot, Jorge

Message #4 Posted by Etienne Victoria on 1 June 2006, 6:36 p.m., in response to message #3 by jbssm Hi Jorge, 1 - No problem with customs or taxes because the labels were sent in a simple unregistered letter from Malaysia. 2 - Ahem, it was a long time ago and I forgot the amount. I'll try to find out and tell you. 3 - They are made of metal a little bit thicker than the original. I perceive this increased thickness as a quality improvement and the print is excellent. I still have these 67 & 65 labels. If you email me your email address through the museum contact, I'll send you a picture of the labels. Cheers. Etienne Edited: 1 June 2006, 6:47 p.m.
