Before I call in my favor due from a machinist friend, does somebody
have a wreck/parted out supply that would be willing to part with the
covers?

If you mean the HP-24 calculator, parts are available from International
Calculator in Florida.

Well no. A calculator would never be classified as a radio boatanchor.

Plus I don't think people working in plastic are called "machinists".
Clearly that's a reference to metal work, and if we're talking Hewlett
Packard pocket calculators, the casing was plastic.

No, surely he means the Heathkit power supply. Was quite popular,
to power Heath equipment, but also I seem to recall people using
it to power other ham transceivers.
