Old HP Calculators and Computers

[Coloradofun]

My father was an early HP employee (joined as an engineer in the 50s) and one of the first in Loveland. I have his HP 150 touch screen, that still worked when we removed from his office and packed it up with all of the cables, keyboards, mouse, two printers and all the software. Does anyone know of anyone that might be interested in this piece of HP history? Also has some older HP calculators and some old HP internal publications, newsletters, manufacturing catalogs and samples.

Well this is certainly the place for people interested in "older HP calculators"!
There is a "For Sale" sub-Forum here for actual selling, (no links to eBay allowed).
The publications could find a good home here too!

edit: I know of a Keysight engineer in Loveland, if your dad worked into the 1990s, he might have known him.

I'm way ahead of you, to capture all the docs to sort and parcel out to Eric, Jake, Warren, and other archives, to preserve these materials and make them available to the entire community, I'd hate for them to end up either in the trash or, even worse to me, someones private stash in a file cabinet to never see the light of day until some surviving family member eventually throws it out.
