What a wonderful year... - Giancarlo - 12-31-2019 02:38 PM The end of the year is always the moment to think about what happen during the year and, thinking about my calculators collection I can say it has been a very successful year! This year I found some very interesting things for my calculators because I focused on finding manuals written in Italian. While I normally read English manuals because they are generally more accurate than translations I have to say that I found some pretty old and interesting manuals in Italian in 2019: - hp71b manuale operativo (operative manual) - Hp71b manuale di riferimento (reference manual) - hp41 modulo temporizzatore (time module) - hp41 ingegneria meccanica (mech engineering) - hp41 estensione memoria (X-mem and X-func) - hp41 lettore ottico (wand) - hp41 hp-IL - hp48 manuale di uso e programmazione (srs Software) On top of this when the year was very close to completion (last week ;+), I was very happy to win on TAS an hp48 card for civil engineering from an Italian company called ‘Più Impresa’. While I wish you a very pleasant happy new year, please tell what you found for your collection in 2019. Happy new year, Giancarlo P.s. please don’t ask for a scanned versions. The scanner is a 2020 project...

RE: What a wonderful year... - Helix - 12-31-2019 11:18 PM It was a fruitful year for my small collection. I was losing hope of finding a working HP 67 in decent cosmetic condition and at a reasonable cost, and this year I eventually found two of them in this state! This is certainly the acquisition of which I'm the most proud. I also pruchased several non-HP calculators: - Sharp PC-E500S with standard 32KB RAM, very cheap. - Sharp PC-E500S with built-in 256KB RAM. - TI 92 Plus - TI Voyage 200 - Casio FX 9860G Slim (second one) - Casio FX CG50 (I have also the white version: Graph 90+E) To be complete, I should mention several slide rules in pristine condition (Pickett N3-T, Pickett N4-ES, K&E Deci-Lon…), and a very nice mechanical calculator Walther WSR 160 (the second one for me). Happy new year RE: What a wonderful year... - edryer - 01-07-2020 06:23 AM Only picked up a 28S (as per previous post) do not really collect (but am going to start) and although I have a few machines I generally make a lot of use from them as working tools. This year will pick up another 28S hopefully. |
