It’s a little rough around the edges and could use a bit of cleaning but I want to be careful and not do anything to harm it. It came with a rebuilt battery pack, the power supply and the handbook and it works perfectly.

Any thoughts on how long to let it charge and how best to clean it up would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ahh, memories! My first calculator was a 45. I wanted a 35 but by the time I had enough money for one (being a poor college student) the 45 was announced so I got that instead. When you open it up to clean it, you might as well install a crystal so the undocumented stopwatch functions are accurate! See here for details: http://www.hpmuseum.org/45crys.htm
