HP-65 goes on hold after reading a card

[[kby]]

Were you told where the wires were broken? They usually just break where they’re soldered in which case that is not too difficult to fix. I probably have some heads that could be sacrificed; they aren’t thst uncommon as they are shared with both the -67 and -97(s).

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.
