Thanks Reth. So do I as I haven't seen it in person yet!
I have seen pics of the battery contacts and there is no corrosion whatsover. I am buying it from the original owner who used it lightly , took great care over it when he bought it and then stored it in it's box thereafter. Also I am not buying it from one of those 'professional' sellers on eBay who mark up the price and make it look better than it is.
I had to laugh to myself recently when one was sold recently with this description " HP41cx Calculator AND (my emphasis) unopened mint condition accessories" . The calculator wasn't new but it looked OK and it sold for $580 !
I can't tell about any broken posts in my machine but all of display works so there is no reason to suspect that they are broken or cracked.
Not that I have ever seen a new HP 41 , but this one did seem to stll have a bright black look about it , not one whose colour has faded over time.
I did really want a HP41cx but in the end the apparent 'new' condition of this one won me over.
Nigel
