Of course the horrible experience is not all bad - it may preserve the ability for the working print-head to remain near NY.

Thanks Bernhard!

Hi Bob,

You don't need to fear that I want the printer module back soon. Although my corroded HP-19C meanwhile does work partially, the display lights up and shows "0,00". I could replace the totally destroyed original 15-digit display by a 12-digit Woodstock display and compress the display format with my new ACT. But I have to build a replacement for the PIK chip to get the keyboard and printer working.

The PIK chip is also present in the HP-9x machines. Would it be worth to develop a PIK chip? Is there a demand?

I have been looking for a PIK chip for a 97 you would need printer font files for each model, I discovered that when I installed the PIK from a 91 into a 97, it works but does not print the right symbols when listing a program.
