Re: if in doubt, consult your dentist Message #16 Posted by Keith Midson on 6 Apr 2009, 10:42 p.m., in response to message #15 by Hans Brueggemann
Thanks everyone for your enthusiastic response! This was my first posting to the forum, and I didn't realise how active everyone would be in this forum.
By way of background I have the HP collecting bug - I now have 44 HP's (along with a bunch of pocket computers and graphing calcs from inferior brands ...).
So, I do use other vintage HP's (I have a working collection as an engineer), but my trusty 28S was the very first HP I've owned from 1990, so it's the sentimental value of keeping it alive that brings me to this thread. I actually have a "like new" 28S, as well as a 28C, 18C, 19B and 19Bii, all in excellent condition with no damage to the battery door, but I would like to bring my original back to life. I think based on all the above discussion I will try cutting some metal sheet - i'll let everyone know how it goes.
Cheers,
Keith
