HP-35S Discontinued?

[DrewNicholson]

Aloha All,

I'm very happy with my new HP-35s from europe.

I just received my new HP-35s from Calcuso in europe, which I ordered from amazon.it late last week. It arrived on the date estimated. The DHL packaging was torn, but the internal packaging was unharmed, and the HP package is perfect. It came in better condition than the one I got from the guy on ebay who was selling "the last production run". It also came with a nice hard case, and all for some $37 less than I paid the guy on ebay - $113. Both are EMEA versions.

So if you want another one, and $113 is affordable, this is probably the best chance for a while. As noted above, if you're in UK it's available a bit cheaper. I think one of the UK stores that ships to the US ends up being about $5 less after taxes and shipping, but I don't think they include the case.

According to DHL, this actually shipped from Poland.

Now I have to debate whether to take it out of package and remove the batteries. I went ahead and got a new 10s+ and a 300s+ arrives today so I have all three in package of the "end of the line". FYI, there are new in package 10s+ for $20 and 300s+ for $24 on ebay.

I still need to get some swissmicros. And I'm debating breaking down an ordering a pre-made 34S from some person in China since I don't know when I'll get around to making a cable and the overlays will be available.

I should try to find out if the person with the 34s's in China can just send one to my in laws in Beijing.

I definitely missed out on a lot of cool stuff during my collecting "hiatus". ;-)
