Was gifted some old HP's today... questions

Something else you should consider... don't toss those old HP's! Not even the broken ones!

I think most of us here are interested in preserving as many of these as possible, so they don't disappear off the face of the Earth. Even broken ones are valuable for scavenging for parts. Even if someone won't pay very much for a "bad" or broken one, someone will at least pay shipping (and maybe a small bonus) just to keep these out of the trash bin.
