Very true. I am still really happy about finding a 70, and then again I am disappointed by it's functionality.

In this case it was not really restoring, but just a little bit luck.

Perhaps there is an unseen exciting part. I see the aspect of making the perfect adding machine for the time before computers. Did HP achieve this goal with the HP-10? The manual has 80 pages and key operations seems to have the same consistency like in the more advanced HP models, not seen in non HP adding machines. Perhaps I will check the HP-10 against the HP-19C when I make my next tax calculations.
