HP-41 Plastic Slide Message #1 Posted by mbrethen on 31 Oct 2013, 6:39 p.m. Over its production run, did HP change the plastic slide that holds the overlays? I have a CV (circa 1984) which does not have a spring return. The plastic slide is snug and clicks into place when you slide it up. I have not found any info about this online.

Re: HP-41 Plastic Slide Message #2 Posted by Les Bell on 31 Oct 2013, 8:15 p.m., in response to message #1 by mbrethen I noticed the same thing. My original 41C (bought the week of release in 1979) and CV had slides that clicked up and stayed up. The repair/replacement CV and CX (88) both have springy slides. HP obviously changed the design, but I've never seen anything about it. Best, --- Les [http://www.lesbell.com.au]

Re: HP-41 Plastic Slide Message #4 Posted by Paul Berger (Canada) on 1 Nov 2013, 7:49 a.m., in response to message #1 by mbrethen I have a early 1980 vintage tall key C that is springy like most of my other 41s. The only one out of my 7 that latches up is another C of uncertain vintage, as I believe the back was changed on it.
