HP-65 1333A20064 serviced by someone ?

I'm repairing one for someone and has the same motor casing color. Same Maxon company, probably just a different batch.

The tape would show indents if something like a screw head was protruding onto the circuit board from the black plastic moulding. Adding the tape would also increase the distance between the card contacts and the circuit board. I don't know if that causes timing problems or not, or was a reason for adding it.

The sense chip is from later 67 97 etc. Obviously it still works in the 65 so that might be some good news for someone looking for a replacement.

cheers
