I just received an adaptor (thanks to a fellow forum member) for my Los Alamos HP-97.
Upon powering it, here's what I noticed:
- a single old-school red led in the middle of the display.
- Digits do not light up
- printer does not advance when requested
What the hell is this thing?
Somehow, I get the feeling that the unit is not defective but was modded to act that way.
If all the wires were open-ended, the calculator would work normally. Considering its rude behavior, I have to assume that additional mods were made on the circuit boards...
What do you all think?
