Today is a good day - an HP-28S saved

[8031Brown]

John, Bob,

thanks for the advice re. batteries and the cover. Duracell are not the product they once were and I will replace a.s.a.p. In my personal experience I have had good brand batteries leak and cheap no-name ones fare better but not usually for time before discharge.
I don't know if Kodak ever made batteries during their heyday but I have bought some very poor quality cells that have been branded Kodak by a company called Strand, IIRC.
Also Varta and GP brand duds.

I am very happy to have a working calculator and particularly to have the original manuals.
