Want an HP-35? Please wait… and wait… and wait.

[Steve Simpkin]

As an interesting example, Richard Nelson waited 12 weeks to receive his HP-35.

See the following comments in his document, Remembering the HP-35A

From page 9:
"I sent in my order and waited . . . and waited. The wait was the most difficult part. Eventually I received a shipping notice from HP. See Fig A4.
On July 31, 1972, just under 12 weeks after I ordered, my HP-35A arrived – at 9:50 in the morning."

On page 20, there is also mention from HP of a 12 week waiting period for delivery of the HP-35.
