Hi Rob,

Thank you very much for all your attention and advice.

Yes, I get it. That's pretty much what I expected to hear.

Thanks very much for the hints about what to ask for!

Yes, again. Right after I posted my questions, I finally read that statement down at the bottom of the description. Thanks very much for pointing it out.

I think I'm going to pass on this particular project. A bit too risky for me right now. I saw some postings over on the Vintage Computer Forum about a fellow who just acquired a nice pile of HP 86 equipment and documentation. He inspired me to pull my HP 86B out of storage and get it set up again. So now I'm actively playing with both my HP 71B and my HP 86B.
