You bet ! My HP-11C it's a 1981 model, has been
used nearly *every day* since then (21+ years), yet still
it's in mint condition, with perfect keyboard and display
and works flawlessly. Still on its 3rd set of batteries.
Also, my HP-25 is 25 years old, was used heavily on
its heyday, yet it's still in excellent condition, with
perfect keyboard and LED display. The one and only thing
I had to do was to replace its dead battery for new cells,
and it runs absolutely fine on them.
Bottom line: if you take just a little care of your
HP, specially classic USA models, it will last for many
*decades*, if not more. Not so with most other brands.
