RE: Keep which HP-48
Yes,
the time frame has to be shifted by a few years, and maybe expanded. Here are some key legend variations. The individual pic files are between 22KB and 80KB, so not very large. 19BII from mid 1990 made in Singapore with molded keys: ![[Image: 19b2_1.jpg]](http://www.hpmuseum.org/guest/deltondo/19b2_1.jpg) ![[Image: 19b2_2.jpg]](http://www.hpmuseum.org/guest/deltondo/19b2_2.jpg) 19BII from mid 1997 made in Indonesia with painted keys: ![[Image: 19b2_3.jpg]](http://www.hpmuseum.org/guest/deltondo/19b2_3.jpg) 38G from mid 1995 made in Singapore with painted keys: ![[Image: 38g_35s.jpg]](http://www.hpmuseum.org/guest/deltondo/38g_35s.jpg) 48G from 1997 made in Singapore with molded keys: ![[Image: 48g_sg71.jpg]](http://www.hpmuseum.org/guest/deltondo/48g_sg71.jpg) 48GX from 2001 made in Indonesia with painted keys: ![[Image: 48gx_id1.jpg]](http://www.hpmuseum.org/guest/deltondo/48gx_id1.jpg) The optical difference between molded and painted keys can clearly be seen. The legends of the molded keys have slightly slanted/uneven edges, especially near their respective end, which is due to mechanical/production reasons. The legends of the painted keys "could" look better, but due to obvious "negative quality constraints" the painted/printed SIN legend is even slightly sloped. -- Ray |
