No, no PDF's. From the original HP-65 owner I got the 65, wall charger, and the six pacs with manuals. That's all. Everything else in the photo came from separate Ebay auctions except the pad of Programming forms (thanks Katie). I got a great deal on the hard case; bought it through Ebay from Samson Cables for $30 BIN (they advertised it as a hard case for the 17b, I'm sure BIN would have been much more if they knew [as I knew] it was really for the 65). Every once in a great while you find a terrific deal on Ebay.

One interesting item is in the lower right corner of the picture, a promotional mailout packet from HP in 1974 targeted to previous HP customers with positions that might benefit from a programmable handheld computer (in this case, a fellow who worked in the chemistry lab at UMASS). I never saw that packet before, it just came up on Ebay one day and I grabbed it.
