I'm not sure if this is the same image as discussed previously,

I compared both side by side and I would say, yes it is the same picture.

This is the image I am using for Bernhard's HP67 emulator, resized to 380x800 pixels. Since the display shows some diffuse reflections I replaced it with another one (see below). I also did not like the two switches set to "OFF" and "PRGM", so I moved them to "ON" and "RUN". ;-)

Yes, it's about 0,5° off – this was the first thing I corrected. The remaining geometric error is negligible, but of course the usual adjustments in contrast, brightness and sharpness were applied. Now since the picture officially can be used, here is a screenshot:

   

I could provide both the picture and a KML file once two things have been clarified:

Bernhard: how exactly are the display coordinates in the KML file defined? I see the position is set by the left upper corner, while the size of the digits as well as their width is defined by the font size. So why is the lower right corner needed?

Katie: For my emulator image I took the display portion of your HP67 picture on wass.net and – after some major adjustments – inserted it into the other image. The result is hardly comparable with the display in your image, but nevertheless I would like to know if this is OK for you.
