HP 41C with hand engraved serial number Message #1 Posted by Bob Purdie on 26 Mar 2007, 9:55 p.m. I just received a 41CX, that is in very nice shape with a serial number that is neatly hand engraved rather than stamped. Does anyone know what the reason for this might be?

The replacement machine was hand-engraved with the same serial number as the faulty unit. I have a replacement 41CV that I got this way. Best, --- Les [http://www.lesbell.com.au]
