Looking through this thread: http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-418.html
and this blog: http://persistent-tech.blogspot.com.au/2...ncial.html
I see no mention of units being manufactured in the Philippines, but I have a Platinum that was manufactured there. It has the two CR 2032 batteries, and a black key background, and includes the parenthesis, backspace etc. The back is not printed on like earlier models, but has the metal type plate.
Anyone have any ideas where these fit in along the timeline of manufacture?

Regards,

Zac

Production in the Philippines only began a few years ago at most, which is also consistent with a 2-battery wide door on a 12CP.
