HP-97 Printer parts and repair
Message #1 Posted by Clark H Lewis on 21 Aug 2007, 6:17 p.m.

I am new to the Museum Forum, but I have HP-41CX and HP-97 calculators. I am now trying to repair the "Gummy Wheel" problem in the 97, and I would like to repair the 97 printer or better yet replace the printer. I have looked at the Forum and Museum site, but I only found one post which addressed a gear problem in the 97 printer.

Comment/suggestions on printer parts and repairs would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Clark.
I think that a look at the MoHPC's Repair Section would prove helpful.
In particular you may find:
HP-65 HP-67 HP-97 "Clutch" Fix
Repairing the HP-97 Card Reader
HP-67 / HP-97 card reader repair hints (wheel & clutch)
HP-97 printer ribbon repair
HP-97 Printer Gear Replacement
Hope this helps.
Best regards.
Giancarlo

Thanks, but I have decided the repair task is above my skill level, and I am going to send the card reader off to get some expert help.

The printer repair looks even more demanding, so I will live without a working printer in the 97.

Thanks again for your comments.

Clark:

I just had my HP-41C, CV, 41 card reader, my 82143A printer, my HP-55 and my HP-97 calculator repaired by Richard Anthony and he did a fantastic job. On my recently purchased 97, a printer gear broke and he replaced it and it works like new. If you are interested in contacting him, let me know and I will forward you his email address. My email address is gerald.schultz@fox.com.
