RE: Finally acquired a Woodstock
Nostalgia time. Finally got my hp-29c going again after a few years. Fortunately I had taken the battery out, so the little leakage encountered didn't impact the machine.

What I finally ended up doing was cutting the crossbar out of the original battery. Spread the sides out a bit and pop the old cells out. Clean everything up a bit, pink eraser on the spring and the calculator contacts. Pop some new cells in. I had to shim out the ends a bit with some aluminum foil. Presto, the "Error" display. Back in business..
