Early HP35 again: Let's play "spot the difference"
This is a display PCB as I know it:

And this one is an early one that surprises me:

Can you spot the difference?
Ok, yes, the left one is missing a anode drive, I know Smile.
But it is also missing an inductor for the clock generator!
It has 380pF from pin 9 of the anode driver to ground.
Ususally there is a 150pF in series with 330µH from pin 9 to ground.
However the clock is working fine.

Does anyone know if the anode driver initially had a different design?

Cheers,
Harald
