HP-25 - It's Alive!
My Dad’s 30-yr old plus HP25.
Thanks to everyone for your help and encouragement
New battery holder, new battery contact (the springs and contacts) and aluminum foil trick. (I didn't use the spring here).

I finally put it all together and the HP-25 LEDs lit up for the first time since the early 1980s.
I am so happy. Now I need to clean this baby up.

You can try Ultrasonic cleaning.
