I just looked at the listings for the two I bought off eBay (haven't arrived yet) and they appear to be the newest ones. No "Hewlett Packard" on the front and serial numbers that start with 9CJ. Looking forward to testing them out when they arrive!

That's not funny, that's tragic.. which is kinda what HP has become of late...

The numbers on stickers beginning with 9CJ are manufacturing LOT numbers, not serial numbers; with the exception of the new 15c Collector's Edition, new units don't have unique serial numbers.

That is a shame re: HP.

Has anyone successfully made a franken-HP12C with the vintage double injected keys and a 60x speed ARM processor inside? I'm thinking that would be the dream calculator with the feel of the original but the speed of the newer models.
