Thanks for sharing this; it's a nice collection of accessories and peripherals. Ask the seller to show a photo of the nameplate on the bottom front of the machine and you'll most likely see it is a normal 41C/CV/CX. While it's possible a bundle called "41E" was sold locally of a 41 with some normally optional peripherals, it's very unlikely the machine really has the model info "41E" on it's label. Please share the result if the seller does show it, it's interesting.

Hi, rprosperi

The seller has already mentioned that, on label just 41C or CX, not specified.
From messages he says:
"Não aparece o modelo escrito, mas e 41EX, modelo modificado de uma calculadora 41CX normal, embutindo módulo de memória com os programas da maioria dos módulos existentes para a HP 41CX"
"It doesn't show the model written, but is a 41EX, modified model from 41CX, with embeded memory with many of programs of existing modules."

Very sad so expensive to my vallet....

Though possible, it seems unlikely as 41 internal ROM upgrades were quite scarce due to lack of room inside. Ask him to describe the CAT-2 listing with no modules plugged-in. If it truly does have extra ROMs inside, it is clearly more rare and valuable, though for all the items included (assuming they are all in working order) the price is not too bad as listed.

I'll try. Let's see if he posts a video for us.

Could that be a 41CL?

I suspect either it is a 41CL (with a unique marketing scheme) or the seller is just repeating something he was told and it really may not have other ROMs installed. Having opened a few 41's, it's hard to imagine how one might have installed several, or even one, additional ROM inside. I figured the CAT-2 results will reveal the truth, whatever the case.

If you look carefully at the picture, the silver line around the keyboard identify it as a HP-41C, at least originally.

Easy test to find which 41 model you have, no module plugged.

After a memory lost ...
C: RCL 99 -> NONEXISTENT
CV: RCL 99 -> 0.0000
CX: CAT 2 -> "-TIME 2C", "-CX TIME", ...

All 41 models except blanknuts ...
C: silver line around the keyboard & orange back
CV: golden line around the keyboard & orange back
CX: golden line around the keyboard & silver back

Actually, as Juergen showed here, it is possible to install at least 5 modules inside...
