41CX, I will try to find the site I got it from. I bought an -hp- 31 on an employee discount when they first came out. Sent it back for an update and repair and used it all the time until a burglar got it. I learned the RPN before using a conventional calculator and find it easier to use since one does not have to juggle parentheses and registers. I've looked for used 41s but they are too rich for my blood.

I just checked and I have 9 including the old Accu-Math that I got in maybe 5th

Which HP’s?  I started with a 25c, moved up to a 41C and now have a 49g, a 12c 
and a 32SII.  I’d love to get a circular slide rule.
