I hope it is of interest to other collectors.
I have several calculator with the metal damaged.
Eric you could not do overlay to replace the metal?

Because the damage is on the edges, which would be hard to cover with the overlay, I think it would better to try using something like model paint.

Geoff might be able to give some suggestions, too, as he has surely encountered similar damage when restoring calculators.

I want to take all the metal parts.
The overlay need not be identical to the original.
Please.
My brother made a request of the overlay WP34S you could send along.

I think whatever I could make would look worse than what you have now, and it's too much work anyway, so I'm not going to do it.
