HP-10 repair, strange piece of plastic. Message #1 Posted by Kees van der Sanden on 28 July 2010, 11:48 a.m. Currently I am repairing an HP-10 calculator. I opened the case and cleaned all PCB's. On the backside of the CPU PCB I found a piece of red colored plastic. It seems that there is something broken/missing here. What is the original shape of this piece of plastic and what is its function? Photo of the back side of the CPU print Any help is welcome, Kees van der Sanden

The plastic is to keep the moving print mechanism (ribbon cable) from scraping against the back of the circuit board.
