Re: hp 35 chrome trim question Message #3 Posted by Dan W on 8 May 2007, 10:34 p.m., in response to message #2 by Randy All of the 35's should have two rows of chrome trim, one thicker than the other. This is a chrome finish over plastic and wears off especially around the on/off switch.

Re: hp 35 chrome trim question Message #4 Posted by db (martinez, ca.) on 9 May 2007, 12:42 a.m., in response to message #3 by Dan W Dave has a picture of one with only one row of chrome here comparing it to the others. I was wondering if there was a no-chrome-on-the-top-row version. Probably not. The previous owner may just have erased it off so it didn't look worn in one spot. The one i'm offing has no chrome on either of the top rows. The topmost row is not even smooth under magnification like the chromed areas; it's mottled but not so much as the rest of the body. Thanks for the input Randy and Dan. It's not really a big deal to me but as i said; somebody asked and i thought i'd find out. I told him to read this thread so he will know as much as i do. God help him if that's all he knows. Besides; it's hard for me to see that area with all that glaring light from the red dot on the on switch blinding me. just kidding.

Certainly appears to be an HP35 version 4 with the one and only top chrome trim bar either completely worn off or intentionally removed. For more info, see item 4 here, below the HP-35 Versions and Bugs heading.
