I thought as much! Functionality is virtually zero, apart from +-*/ logs and trig, but I didn't know whether you were a collector of early HPs or not.
I did have a 41cv, but the batteries leaked inside it, and Energizer who will,(or at least would,) replace any unit that was damaged by their product, opted to give me a 42S as a replacement, as the 41cv was obsolete in 1998. I didn't bother too much at the time, as I had a 19BII as well, but that has also died, and I'm stuck with the 42S, and an emulation package if I need to do financial calcs. I don't think HP do a calculator now that includes both financial and trig.
Later Note
I have just been looking at HP's latest offerings, and I see that the cheapest of all HPs in RPN is the HP20b, and this does do financial and trig. At $79 + GST, I can't live more than a few days without one.
Thanks for your post, it's woken me up.
I see that someone in the US has an HP35 for sale at $700+, although it is complete with original box, manual etc. Who knows, someone might buy mine for $85, and cover the cost of the 20b.
