Is it maybe the lack of oscilloscopes?

The 9825B includes HPL, not Basic. The 41 is labelled as a 41CW and 512 K RAM, which isn't right even if the extended memory modules are in place, unless a 41CW is some modified version I haven't heard of.

There was also a HP41-CW with a 32k Rambox, based on a HP-41CV halfnut

Why the TI-59?

The HP 82161A cassette drive is definitely not correct. Looks more like a 82162A Thermal printer to me.

HP 9825B
62 KB RAM.

Shouldn't it be 32K?

"The 9825B replaced the 9825A in 1980. It came standard with 23K RAM and internally integrated ROMs for Strings, Advanced Programming, Plotters, General I/O and Extended I/O. The 9825T was also introduced in 1980. It came standard with 62K RAM, all of the ROMs of the 9825B, plus a built-in Systems Programming ROM."

Darn it! That's one more HP-41 variant I must add on the: To-Be-Acquired list.

Is there any way we could get a close up look at the markings on the HP-41CW?

According to my former boss Wilfried Koetz from W&W the CW as standalone product was offered, but never officially sold, since all customers chose the CY.
There were customers who had their HP-41 upgraded with an internal 32K RAM box at W&W. However these calcs were not officially called CW.

The only "real" CW unit I had here for repair was one which looked like a CY, with turbo switch and CY logo, but only 32K RAM installed. The back side of the pcb was empty. That unit belongs to one of the CCD module programmers.

So it's very likely that the HP-41 unit on the pic is either an upgraded CV/CX , or maybe a CY without the proper W&W OS.

The drives in the 9121 are those found in the later model 9122D/S and 9114B. The 9121 used the full-height drives like those found in the 9114A.

I'm trying to find something wrong with the DMM. The only thing I see is that the red lead is plugged into the LO terminal and the black into the HI terminal.

So there could be more than one mis-labelled item on the pic;-)


RE: Challenge - Dave Frederickson - 12-31-2013 11:33 PM

The 3468A is HP-IL, not HP-IB.

RE: Challenge - Raymond Del Tondo - 01-01-2014 12:35 AM

and the 9121 disc drive uses different drive front panels (actually different drives) .
The one on the pic rather looks like a 9123, with the newer drive units;-)


RE: Challenge - Dave Frederickson - 01-01-2014 06:03 AM

According to the image on hpmuseum.net, the 9123D doesn't have a power button on the front panel. I still say its a 9122D with a later date code.
