Which HP Financial Calculator ?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.handhelds (More info?)

I am in a dilemma. I have been using a HP 10B original made in the USA for
about 12 years. Great calculator. I will be taking some finance courses at
a local graduate school in the fall and they insist on the 12C. I had found
a 12C a few years ago, used it a couple of months and sold it as I did not
like RPN. It as a good deal as it was an original made in the USA brand new
in the box (1980's vintage). Now I think I am forced to go out to find a
12C. I know that the calculators that HP makes are junk in terms of fit and
finish! What calculator would you folks recommend. I have used the 17BII
and 19BII but like I said the school is insisting on a 12C. Any idea where
I might find one of the original made in USA models new unused? I don't
want someone elses worn out calculator!!! Any ideas, advice would be
appreciated. Thanks.

If you change your mind about a used one, make me an offer on my very
nice HP12C. Comes with fake leather slip case and manual.
No other accessories.
Works great, I just need a calculator with HEX functions.
