Bought this while planning for CG. Retired instead. If anyone is interested it's yours. Just cover S&H or come visit me in Wisconsin.
 
Very generous of you.... (y)
 
I would keep it, I have used one for 40 years and when you get used to using it, a regular calculator is slightly difficult to use. I have 3 now and one is still new in carton, I am a couple of years away from retirement but I plan on using my HP12C until I can't use a calculator any longer. Another nice thing about the HP12 is no body else in the family can use so it stays on my desk
 
Back in the day we used to say that God uses an HP12c.
 
I remember back in 1980 my boss was appraising the US Steel building. He bought the HP 12 for the job. First one I ever saw. Still have mine, complete with leather pouch. :)
 
I have two. One was for the office and one for home. That said, there’s a free iPhone app version that I’ve been using for the past 15 years or so.
 
My HP 12C came in a cheap plastic case. They must have come in leather way back when for the abacus crowd. I’m hanging on to mine even though I’m a lowly residential guy and rarely used it, in case anyone is curious, the cap rate is 10. It’s always 10, it’s on the official certified general list although they won’t admit it.
