Reversed Label HP-41 - BillBee - 08-22-2022 02:04 PM
As it was raining yesterday morning I thought it would be a good time to revive a project calc. Typical lower post, zebra, ribbon issues (still to be resolved but I did see some signs of life btw) but I noticed the label was reversed.
Pic is attached.

The back of this unit (or maybe the whole thing) is almost certainly from a BlankNut machine; these came without a rear label installed, though one was provided in the box if the owner wanted one installed, and it seems these were often installed backwards.
It's also possible the unit went in for service and needed a new back, and the service technician installed it backwards, but this seems far less likely.

Thanks for the insight Bob.
This one has been "been around the block" a few times.
