Wanted: HP 28S

[BillBee]

The 28S can be an odd duck on the Bay as it seems to be a model prone to self-destruction. Clean ones can go from $50 - $80+ - I think people just are a little wary as there is not much repairing to do if /when they go bad. Just have patience and don't be too wary of a missing door or a cranked door if you are looking for a "driver".

One tip I gleaned from here was a dowel, foil and the smaller 11c type batteries in lieu of the N cells. Those N cells do put a lot of force on the door.

I do know the feeling regarding the 28s. I used a 15c throughout engineering and when a classmate had a 28 I was just amazed at it. But just couldn't afford one and the 15c handled all that could be chugged into it. Those two models are always special to me.
