Springs for HP-41 battery holder

[Jurgen Keller]

In the meantime I received the springs from TheCalculatorStore. In my opinion, these springs are good replacements. The only minor difference I noticed is that they don't look as "shiny" as the original ones.

I also ordered the "Lower Post Repair Part" and used it to repair a Halfnut HP-41. Up to now that's the best and probably most sustainable repair method I know of for the front posts. There is a detailed description of the repair process, it's easy and fast. The part is not cheap, however, I think it's worth the money.

I very much appreciate Jose's efforts to provide repair parts for the HP-41 calculators. The HP-41 plastic parts get more and more brittle. At some point we will be in need of replacement cases as well (favorite "color" would be transparent) ;-)
