The Throwaround HP-12C

This is the reveal of the improvements to the sad HP-12C - I am quite pleased with how it turned out, I still need a battery door, but I have used some black insulation tape for now, which is fine.

There was some sanding done on the bezel to remove the gold finish and most of the scratches, I used automotive polish on the screen (very gently as it is a liquid crystal display) and some cleaning of the case of course and a little paint touch up and cleaning on the keyboard area. It was about an hour or so work to bring a little life back into the calculator.
