NEW: HP 15C Collectors Edition

[tommi60]

Just received my HP-15C CE from Amazon today. Seems it's from the first run, serial number is 8795.

No plastic film were applied to the bezel and when I turned on the calculator I noticed FIX 6 was selected. Strange I thought, shouldn't it be FIX 4? Checking 'g MEM' I noticed there was a program also inserted!

001 LBL A
002 STO 1
003 LBL 1
004 1
005 0
006 X>Y
007 GTO 2
008 1
009 ENTER
010 INT
011 STO 1
012 FRAC
013 R/S
014 1
015 0
016 *
017 RCL 2
018 +
019 STO 2
020 GTO 1
021 LBL 2
022 Σ+

Not even an interesting program, just someone playing around with my supposedly brand-new calculator.

Apart from bouncing keys I don't see any marks or blemishes, so I might keep it. Feeling lazy to send it back. And maybe the bouncing key problem can be solved in firmware? Still waiting for the POGO pin programming cable.

P.S.
My guess this is a returned item to Amazon. Should have gotten a discount at least.

Edit:
I really tried to like the calculator, but it's going back. With keys that intermittently don't register and with bouncing keys at random intervals, it's totally hopeless. I'm scared now of getting a replacement, lost the confidence somehow. Maybe get a Swissmicros DM15L instead?
