Check out my latest haul from CL. The 41 is one of my favorite calculators. I'm always on the lookout for them lurking on CL. My latest catch is my best ever. I've gotten 41s in the past that are in good shape, but are lacking all the documentation, boxes, etc. But I'm really excited about this latest stuff. It looks like the only thing missing is the cellophane wrapping it came in.
41cx, IR module, survey module, 822140a printer, card reader, rechargable battery pack, charger for pack, and chargers for the printer. ALL in there original boxes. There's even a few rolls of printer paper left that still have "HP" printed across the edges to let me know I'm using genuine HP quality paper Smile

.
Even the back story is pretty good. Bought for construction project, then computer-aided drafting came out a few months later and the 41 sat on the shelf.
What makes the 41 so good is the expandability. Like the swiss army knife of the personal electronic world. And the quality of the support and documentation really lets you know someone cared when they made this stuff.
Even though the 41 is so awesome, I'm really partial to the 48 and that's where my heart lies with this stuff. After using the 48 in the office and field, it really made a lasting impression. Just my thoughts. That said, keep an eye out on the classifieds for some or all of this stuff. (as soon as I plot a sine curve using the 41, so about a few days Smile

You should preview your posts because the pic didn't come through.

I don't recall the HP boxes being shrink wrapped, so you're not missing anything.

Oops. I tried posting a link to an image (dropbox). Maybe trying an attachment would work better.

Watch out for the 82120A rechargeable battery. They leak.

Dave,
Thanks for the information. Yes I see the battery pack has some corrosion and doesn't hold a charge. I prefer the alkaline pack anyway.
The card reader has a gummy wheel. Working in repairing it. Will post results in separate thread.
Thanks again
Justin

I did not know that!

Thanks, Massimo.

Yep Craigslist. I didn't mention the full name because this site has a strange aversion to mentioning website's names. Smile

Not really aversion, we're just lazy. Compare keystrokes for eBay.com with TAS. Other examples abound but it's laziness, not politics.
