HP 67
or any model in the above series introduced in 1976.
HP 33C
HP 34C
introduced in 1978
or any HP 41C, CV, CX etc introduced in 1979
They are a bit newer but may consider
HP 10, 11, 15C
introduced in 1981
Thanks

Hi Paul,
Good luck with the search!
You are setting us off down memory lane here!
My first HP was the HP-25 (not the HP-25C) which I got in 1975.
It was absolutely brilliant.
Unfortunately it eventually failed around 1982 and I then got a HP-15C
which I have used just about every working day since then.
At one point we had a HP-97 which had the in-built magnetic card reader
and printer.
I even remember the old Marchant Calculators being used in the 1960's
and later some of the (at the time) fabulous Olivetti electromechanical
calculators. The Olivetti keypad pretty much resembled the functionality
of any modern four function calculator today and my brother and I use
to marvel at giving it a long division and it would chug away for what seemed
like a minute or so before finally printing out the result.
Are you collecting these or do you simply want a good working vintage calculator
as a one-off possession?
Interesting to hear what you uncover.
Best regards
Gary
