Re: HP-29C Prototype on Ebay Message #3 Posted by Michael Meyer on 24 Nov 2008, 7:59 p.m., in response to message #1 by Matthias Wehrli
I'd need a lot more evidence to be convinced. It sure looks to have a standard Woodstock battery right there on the back. It has normal molded keys, so it's a production unit. Missing the charger and rubber feet means nothing, of course. The fact that it has a final faceplate rules out any kind of very early prototype.
All I see that is interesting is the lack of a serial number, but that plastic is easy to "melt" with solvents, etc.
I'd have to see if the keyboard has been disassembled. If the original heat stakes are there, then I might be more convinced that this was possibly an earlier prototype.....
