(Wanted) HP-41 Port Extender

[Hiwi]

In the 80er i had a HP-41 Port Extender for my HP-41C from corvalis, i dont know exactly the partnumber. It was a black flat box with 5 slots. I am now looking forward to buy one. May be there are other types and manufacturers.

I have some Quad Memory modules and a PPC ROM. I like to play around a bit with page switching.

Please make an offer via pn.

Hello Ralf,

You should really check the Clonix-D and/or NoV-64 modules.

That I completely understand.

... until you find your treasure, look at the AME Port-X-Tender pictures links in this post.

PS: FYI, there is one currently available HERE.

There's a port extended on ebay at the moment, https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/394458432490

Cheers,

Thanks,
Sylvain has already posted this link. I got a pn from a forum member in belgium, may be i can buy it from him.

Buying this item from USA makes not really sense for 250 $ / € + shipping and + customs

That would be more than 300 Euros, at this price my sentimentality has come to an end :-)

The AME Port-X-Tender was listed in the EduCalc catalog between 1983 and 1986 with a selling price between 149.95 USD and 139.95 USD.

I have two AME Port-X-Tender.

• The first one was bought in 2013 from a US seller.
  → 185.00 CAD ← x1.0 exchange rate ← 185.00 USD ← 125.00 USD (item) + 60.00 USD (shipping, duty & taxes)
  .
• The second one was bought in 2014 from a French seller. [that was an unexpected deal, the auction went under the radar]
  → 140.00 CAD ← x1.4 exchange rate ← 100.00 EUR ← 76.00 EUR (item) + 24.00 EUR (shipping) + ? do not remember (duty & taxes)
  

Considering that HP calculators & accessories prices have gone up significantly in the last 10 years, the seller asking price seem reasonable.

That said, if your sentimentality does not extend to his asking price, this is ok.
