There is plenty of room inside an HP-46. Here are some good pictures of what it looks like (not my website): https://www.keesvandersanden.nl/calculat...inside.php
The HP-46 would greatly benefit from a slightly larger LED display anyway. As it is, the size of the display (small pocket calculator) and the size and mass of the machine do not fit together at all. From the distance that one usually sits in front of a desktop calculator it is hardly readable.

The display is an optional item BTW. If have never seen one, but there must be displayless HP-46s out there somewhere.

And to Geoff: I have a broken (keys and parts of the printer missing) HP-46 that I keep for spares. If all else fails I can probably extract a working LED module from it. Shipping to Canada will probably be very expensive though.
