Hello!


I bought an HP-65 some time ago. It had still the original drive wheel rubber attached and looked to be in good condition so I didn't replace it at first, but unfortunately it has died after two months of not several use! I searched for the silicone tubing and repaired the card reader and it works but the problem is that the card speed is not constant -it increases and decreases. By looking closely at the silicone rubber tubing I've discovered that the inner hole is not exactly centred so that the rubber radius is larger in some parts and shorter in others. Has someone faced this problem before?

Hi Rafa,
I have experienced this problem with different type tubes. If you like, I will mail you a small piece of silicon rubber hose in the mail that is pretty concentric. Erik

Hi Erik,

This would be great!

Thanks, Rafa
