Oh, that's a major upgrade - the decimal point actually floats! What you (and I) took to be a front-mounted power switch is actually a selector between 0 and 2 decimal digits displayed after the point. The 661 is fixed point, the 663 is floating point.

Ah okay, I should've noticed that. The 663 is analogous to the CM-603, rather than the CM-602.

Most used is the WP34S iOS app, with the HP15C next, far too little time is spent on the remainder. Kids need to have TI30s in school and have not fallen for RPN yet.

I'm updating also my first post, as I got a Casio FC 1000 (financial consultant) and they are coming here (next week) HP 41CX and HP 42s (happy!)...

At the moment, a very last update of my first post, with HP 71B and HP 15C LE.
Stop (for now): I ended my money

And me too :-(

Because of the latest additions:

- Woodstock Low Power (Serial Number 0008 with GPS, found in the mailbox today, to be implanted into an HP-21 tomorow, time permitting)

- Commodore P50 (still on it's way from the UK) - inspired by this thread: http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-9787.html

- MBO Monarch 1 (in transit)

- Ti82 Stats (in transit)

- Ti83 (in transit)

I truly hope that I will be outbid on all other auctions, otherwise there will be nothing to eat for the rest of the month....

I did not forget the thread (aside from the fact that the post themselves are great, a summary like the one in the first post, though, helps).

The problem is that I am having other priorities and I am also thinking to pass convent the first post data in monospaced text, so:

Code:

 code

to improve the readability.

Also I am losing one auction after another one ebay, even if it seems that people throw away for little money a lot of functional wonderful objects (casio, ti, hp, etc..), there is always someone looking like me on the same object and snatching it at the last moment when I don't look.

So far: a fx5800p lost, two 50g lost, 2 voyager ti200 lost, three 9860 are still open. There was a 48gII but I was not convinced I could use it. A 48 G for crumbs too, what a pity. I did not pick it because once again I was not sure I could employ it for real. There are plenty of TI and casio (most common worldwide I think), really it is heartbreaking.

Heartbreaking because I guess for each object sold on ebay there are thousands working objects (calculators or what not) unsold and trashed.

You just need to decide how much you are willing to pay for each item, beforehand, and not deviate from that. For some peculiar items you may set apart a small percentage more than your max amount.
If you win, you are within your budget, if you loose... oh well, who cares: it's not in your league.

C'mon, you alone can't save the world!
United we stand, divided we fall: there's always some of us outbidding you only to take care of his/her own new puppy. ;)

[grsbanks]

Three more for you to add when you get a moment:

HP-12C
HP-41C (absolutely mint condition, really pleased with this one -- time module, quad memory module and X Functions module on their way from Germany and Australia...)
Casio FX-702P

Not yet time for a big update, nonetheless since now the data collected is a bit, I am afraid to lose it (as far as I know, MyBB does not offer versioning). Therefore I started to use the community wiki that has versioning included.

I will update first the wiki page, to have versioning, and then mirror here.

http://www.wiki4hp.com/doku.php?id=forum...calculator

(or you may update it yourself, but then I still have to mirror )

[pier4r]

Not yet updated, but found by chance a similar previous discussion. If you find others, please share!

[pier4r]

First post updated.

A couple of notes. I appreciate the honesty when you write "just bought", "in transit", "will be there". But I don't list it (because the device is assumed working, can be also DOA although I never hope so).

For the long lists, I really appreciate them, but then I report mostly the HP models.
The first post is only a partial overview, the real previous data is in the single lists.

Thanks to the holy wiki, one can check better whether I did the right additions.

Some recent additions to my collection for the statistics (and of course to make everybody envious!):

1. A novelty calculator. A desktop ruler with a vey basic solar calculator that is actually the lid of a box for a selection of Post-its. (eBay, 1€) - everybody has seen it on eBay dozens of times I guess:



2. Another novelty calculator. Reflects one of my true passions (calculators are only a secondary passion I'm afraid). The calculator itself is so boring that I didn't bother to replace the empty coin battery. The little label with the horse's stable unfortunately has become unglued. Need to keep looking for a perfect one :-)



3. This curious 2/3 scientific calculator which has square root, Pi and logarithm but no triginometric functions. Labelled as "MBO", a German company, but certainly made by someone else:



4. The already mentioned in several posts HP-49g+ into which I didn't even bother to put batteries for the photograph because I don't like it in the least:



5. An older variant of a Ti-83 (again, too lazy to put batteries inside):



6. A newer variant of a Ti-83:



7. Triggered by this thread here http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-9787.html I got myself a Commodore PR50 to fill a gap (PR100 I have several already):



8. And this one is the crown jewel in this list. Arrived in the mail today from the UK. If you thought red LEDs are a wonderful thing - as I do - then you have not seen a Panaplex display yet. As I have not been able to see the electroluminescent display of the Apollo Guidance Computer's (AGC) Display and Keyboard Assembly (DSKY) in real life, which is probably even more incredibly beautiful, for me that orange gas-discharge display is the top of the world. The calculator itself, a Berkey/Omega 100 is a mere four-banger with the only addition of a fixed-decimal-places switch. But turning on the power will instantly throw you back into the Apollo era! It takes 2-3 seconds until the inverter inside that unusually heavy little calculator (about the size of an HP Woodstock but twice as massive) has generated enough high voltage to "ignite" the Neon gas inside the rightmost "0". So wonderful. How ultra incredibly wonderful would a "Woodstock low power" with a Panaplex display be - I hope the right person is reading this :-)
