HP-41 2x speed up?

[Arne Helme]

I am looking for information on how to speed up the HP-41 calculators. I remember vaguely from the mid-eighties that the procedure was to replace one of the resistors on the CPU board and thereby increasing its speed by a factor 2.

Information or a reference to where I can find more details will be appreciated.

Thanks,

A few months? The last post of the last time this thread came around was three days ago.

Well Peter,

I see that you already forgot our discussion of last week :.( Fortunately, Garth is there to refresh our memories.....

You proposed to send me some pictures and I will be happy to have a look on it (as well Arne probably).

Kind regards,

Philippe

Hi,

Sorry, I did not forget, just was out of the country...
Here is a link to pictures of various CV and C boards as well as one halvenut board (Thanks Diego!!) with the timing capacitor marked.

Let me know if there are any problems in viewing the pictures.
Happy speeding!
