Am I imagining things, or are the keys a dark grey rather than the black of all of my other machines? This one has a serial number starting with 2402S. My machines with serial numbers starting 2236S and 2427S (and others) have keys that are black (and had the "good" kind of connector.) Is there a correlation between the connector type and the key color? And why have I never noticed this before?
The keys of the HP-41 are not really black, but rather a very dark brown, on some units with a grey-ish influence.
I don't know the timeframe for the bacon strips to be used in the HP-41, but those bacon strips were used other HP calcs of that time, namely the Voyager series. Unfortunately they used a similar (foam) connector in the Pioneer series, too.
