    I've a Hewlett-Packard HP-15C app on every digital device that I can install one. RPL is the only way to go!

    On the 2nd option you can actually place a couple furniture moving felt pads on the cover. They’ll keep it secure. Great video.

    I just purchased one of these, in the original plastic-box, with original power-supply and the soft leather-case, apparetly never used., still rolled up.
    It also has the manual, in Danish(!!).
    Only problem is, of course,
    the battery-pack.
    Incredible how, 50 years after it was manufactured, it still powers up and the keys give a nice tactile feedback.
    Bought it because I collect sliderules and this is
    The Sliderule Killer..
    Paid 100 DKR,
    or about 15USD for it😊

      A HP -35 sold for $400 in 1974. The HP-65 was $800 in 1977. The 35 still works 100%. The 65 has a bad LED segment driver and the programming function has died.

    Just dug mine out. Now I have to remember how I ever got along without it being a retired NC programmer.

      @@JoeRobertsPersonalpage yeah, it was easy :)
      All i really did was clean it and slap some rechargable AA in there.
      the display is everything i hoped for and more

    A neat solution. Have adapted slightly by making copper plates stuck to the battery pack, to make a removable pack that can be used in other calculators, and leaving the calculator totally stock.

    You can buy a 1000ma battery pack off of eBay for less than $20. Or for a bit more, you could get the 3000ma battery.
    From the listing: "The CL-1000 battery pack is designed to be used as a replacement for discontinued Hewlett-Packard HP82001A and HP82001B packs." Looks pretty much like the real deal too.
    I collect calculators, and the HPs are my favorites. Yesterday I bought a HP-20, a 41CX, and a 67. The 67 comes with a new battery. Same one as what the 35 uses.
    Curiously, I don't own a 35. :)

    NiMH will overheat with the original charger, why not use NiCad batteries?

    • @EdHumble

      Well, both are obsolete technology. I used the newer technology. The trick is to keep the charging voltage as low as practical.
