HP-97S Message #1 Posted by aj04062 on 25 Oct 2011, 8:58 p.m. Rebuild time! Just obtained this 97S (minus the front plate, Help?) from an old doctor friend who also let me take an old 9810 too! It's connected to a digital caliper with RED LEDs (Digit-Cal) All seem to work, except the printer and card reader. I have the software with the unit too. Hopefully with a card reader rebuild, I can measure catheters like it was 1982! Can anyone answer how accurate the "rarity scale is" on HPmuseum? Edited: 25 Oct 2011, 9:24 p.m.
