MY FIRST VOYAGER!!

[aurelio]

Got my first personal voyager, a HP11C.
I used this model just a few times many years ago, but never mine, shared with colleagues on the job.

Now I've checked it works perfectly and it's generally in excellent shape, apart a few scratches on the bezel around the display.
What's the better way to remove them......or, better to leave it "as is" and live in peace ?

Congratulations - an HP-11C is a very nice calc for real world problems. Enjoy! And I'd leave the few scratches as they are: they are part of the history of your 11C.

Congratulations!

I also have my first voyager (15c LE) in its way home. I cannot wait to have it here!

Lucky you!
I'm trying to get one as well to join my HP-15C, but the asking prices in TAS are stratospheric. One's have to be really patient and wait for the good opportunity.

The HP 11C is a collector's item. I would probably leave it "as is" unless the scratches are really bad.

One chapter of Geoff book should be dedicated to the voyager.
In a thread some years ago he showed how to restore the bezel of his damaged unit. So i think it will be part of the repair bible.

It was on TOF (the old forum) :+) just to add another acronim.

I hope it helps,

Grazie! Thanks for recalling that. Can't wait to get the bible ...

Attenzione! You're on a dangerous track. An inhabitant of GOC may call that acronym 'balderdash', you may try to defend it, and guess who will be thrown in the dungeon?

really a good link Giancarlo, I missed that post!

Geoff there are no words to descibe your works.......and your skill!
Actually my bezel looks not like the H10c's in the pictures, I have only a few light scratches. But I read that you replaced it with a donor's one, after a brush work..
How could I remove the bezel without to destroy the calculator?
