Re: Matte-finished emblem of HP-15C Message #4 Posted by M Habl on 1 Dec 2012, 7:34 p.m., in response to message #3 by Randy
The material consists of silver flakes, indeed:
However, according to a resistance measurement it is not a matter of conductive silver epoxy. Some of the abraded material obviously adheres to the bottom of the plastic nuts.
Did the early emblems consist completely of zinc or did HP use the same molded black plastic piece as footing? Has the painted version been invented as it is after all more hard-wearing than the glossy logos? Unfortunately, no spare emblems reached the market within the scope of the reissued limited edition of 2011.
