It seems nobody likes the 97

I am mostly with you regarding this statement. With one exception: If you have a non-working calculator for which no spare parts can be found (like the Woodstock or Spice series calculators) you have two options: Either throw it away or put a Panamatik or Teenix board inside and have a working calculator again. Of these options I prefer the second one!

Yes, absolutely! Or reuse the exterior case, keys, display, etc. if the cosmetics are good and you have another that looks bad but works well.

As for the 97 printer, it can be removed completely from the unit for servicing. Little risk of damaging anything else. It's easier to access the printer than the card reader. Once the case is off, 3 screws with rubber grommets hold the printer assembly in place. No need to remove the black plastic internal frame like you have to do to access the card reader.
