HP12c Message #1 Posted by brian on 2 Sept 2004, 9:16 a.m. I recently found and purchased a nearly mint HP-12c Made In USA that I am most proud of. Would anyone happen to know when the last 12c's were Made In USA?

Re: HP12c Message #2 Posted by kraman on 2 Sept 2004, 12:45 p.m., in response to message #1 by brian Talking about the 12-c; somehow I have converted my 12-c to the European mode, that is there is a comma after the integer instead of a period. Any ideas on how to get it back to the US mode. Thks.

Re: HP12c Message #4 Posted by Randy Sloyer on 2 Sept 2004, 7:26 p.m., in response to message #1 by brian Last USA units were sometime in mid 1988. After that, production was moved to Singapore. Quality was the same as the USA machines until sometime around 1995 when they where updated with painted keys and a new cpu package. They went on to Malaysia around '97 when the Pioneer line went to Indonesia and the 12C moved to China.
