New toy - cheap! - Brad Barton - 10-10-2023 03:47 AM

Kicking around central Florida because of the HCC conference, and my wife asks to stop at a Goodwill she spotted when traveling through Lake Nona. Imagine my surprise when it pays off with a new addition to the collection. It was in a baggie with other office supplies like pocket notebooks and staples. It's only a 12C, but I haven't found an HP in the wild for a long time.

With the very rare low battery indicator too ...!

Watch out! In my experience once the low battery indicator shows up, you only have a year or two to change the batteries before they are completely deadSmile

This IS rare. I don't think I've seen a low battery indicator on a Voyager in a few decades.

Looks like it has only had light use and wear, nice find!

Here in Australia at the charity and OP shops I only ever find TI BAII's in the $5 sections, have never found any vintage HP's.

What do you mean "only a 12C" !? Have you really no idea what that little calc can do ? Smile

Congratulations on your new "toy". Enjoy !
