HP-65 goes on hold after reading a card

[Kostas Kritsilas]

I have a HP-65 in which the card reader cycles cards through, but doesn't read them. The card goes through, and the display shows 0.00, even though the calculator is otherwise fine. I sent it off for repair, and it appears that the hair thin wires going to the read/write head are broken. I'm just going to use it as a keystroke programmable, since the supply of HP-65 card reader parts is not exactly abundant.
