Any HP-25c schematics?

[Archilog]

Hello everyone,

I've bought a "cheap" but heavily blue-white-green corroded HP-25c and washed and cleaned it. It was so damaged that in the wash process I almost lost a component; this the "big" black transistor on the left of the first (mid) RAM chip (thank you, Harald!):



Now, I have to test it (and every component I guess) and to solder it (or a new one) on the board again. But where does it connect onto the board? I didn't find any picture or schematic neither in this site, nor on the PPC DVD of Jack Schwartz.

Any help will be appreciated.

I've also got a NASA HP-25 program listing for calculating Loran time differences if you want to run and see if it works ok after your major trauma surgery on the calculator.

Great, many thanks!

If you want to see the last photo in whole go to the website that is shown in the pdf. So you can see the whole hardware displayed.

Can be downloaded from archive.org as NTRS-1978002312 LORAN Time Difference.

BEST!

Thanks for the link to the program.

These formulas are used:

\(
\begin{align*}
\beta_T&=\tan^{-1}[C\tan(\Phi_T) ] \\
\beta_R&=\tan^{-1}[C\tan(\Phi_R) ] \\
X &= \cos^{-1}[\sin(\beta_R)\sin(\beta_T)+\cos(\beta_R)\cos(\beta_T)\cos(\lambda_R-\lambda_T)]
\end{align*}
\)

But we can factor out \(\cos(\beta_R)\cos(\beta_T)\) and get:

\(X = \cos^{-1}[\cos(\beta_R)\cos(\beta_T)(\tan(\beta_R)\tan(\beta_T)+\cos(\lambda_R-\lambda_T))]\)

Hence we can avoid calculating \(\sin(\beta_R)\) and \(\sin(\beta_T)\) since \(\tan(\beta_R)\) and \(\tan(\beta_T)\) have already been computed.

This makes the program a bit shorter:

Sadly, Jaques’ site, while excellent, is on the 21 and 25, but not the 25c. While there is much relevant information, the original question seems to still be unanswered: Is there a schematic for the 25c available? Thanks.-kby

Did you look at Tony's schematics? HP25C included ...

Mea culpa. I had, but apparently not carefully enough. I think maybe I got an earlier version, or the name "Classic Schematics" stuck in my mind, although I did know he subsequently added the 19c and 29c.-kby
