Can anyone identify these keys? - Bruce Larrabee - 10-16-2011
Hello All,
Can anyone here identify these keys?
Thank you everyone...

Hi Bruce, looks like an early attempt at a 28C/ 18C. Early prototype perhaps? Cheers, Keith

I would guess 18C early prototype, as it has an "=".

A few more pieces of the puzzle, I guess:

Heh, did you see the HP28S I built for Keith from a set of clear parts just like those? I built myself one first. It came out quite nice. Then I built one for Keith. It came out PERFECT! (Learned a couple details building the first one...)
Here's a couple shots of mine (maybe Keith will post his for us?)

Your guesses sound like a possibility.
Any clue what 'ENDE' or 'SAL' mean?
Re: Can anyone identify these keys? - Patrice - 10-17-2011
ENDE look German to me!
Re: Can anyone identify these keys? - Keith Midson - 10-17-2011
Bruce - yes mine is perfect! One of my favorites in my collection. Here it is: Clear-28S
Also: Clear-28S-2
And: Clear-28S-3
Cheers, Keith

"ende" = end entry ?
"sal" = sale ?
Could be intended for use as (part of) a cash register?

ENDE is indeed german, and SAL might be Saldo. So, it's an interesting mix of languages.
