Hi Paul,

This how I remember a technician at the local HP office in Athens, Greece fixing Classic series chargers in the late 70s.

Due to high import duties, the USD to Drachma exchange rate and the relatively low labour rates in Greece at the time, it was cheaper to repair the connector, than get a new cable or charger.
