Has any HP calc model ever been sold under another brand? Message #1 Posted by hecube on 19 Aug 2009, 4:09 p.m. Look at this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Victor-V12-Programmable-aka-HEWLETT-PACKARD-HP-12C-PLUS_W0QQitemZ180398622556QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCalculators?hash=item2a0098875c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_3509wt_1165

No, it is a clone with no connection to HP... Message #2 Posted by Gene Wright on 19 Aug 2009, 4:50 p.m., in response to message #1 by hecube There have been this and one other 12c clone I've seen before. Bought the other 12c clone (was a vertical model) from Frys several years ago. Have this Victor too. Don't really care for either. But, I don't believe there is any connection to HP at all.

This is a link to a photo of the 12c clone that Gene was talking about. There is also a shot of the pcb there. Gene; You are right; there is no connection.

Dennis - you miss it??? Message #5 Posted by Joerg Woerner on 20 Aug 2009, 8:58 a.m., in response to message #4 by db (martinez, ca.) Dennis, I guess this auction was put up on eBay for you! I just browsed your non-HP RPN calculator photos and missed it. What happened? Regards, Joerg

Re: Dennis - you miss it??? Message #6 Posted by db (martinez, ca.) on 20 Aug 2009, 11:32 p.m., in response to message #5 by Joerg Woerner Here is is. It was hiding among all those other cute RPNs. There is an internal of the PCB and a comparison to the hp12c photo on either side of it. Why are you selling yours Joerg? You will need a financial calculator to keep track of all your money when you sell off those pesky TI algebraics. Have you fallen in love with the new RPN 20b?

Why I'm selling it? To make room for more TI calculators;-)) Just hit the 3,000 number and there is more out in the woods. Regards, Joerg
