That seems pleasingly and perhaps surprisingly high!

I finally got a backup for my HP-11c calculator in the shop. The one I'm using has been in service, in the shop since the 80's and it's getting pretty beat up. I lay awake at night worrying about having to give up RPN and learn algebraic notation. Big Grin

Got it for $50 and it's like new, good for another thirty years.

I have one of those lying around somewhere. My Dad bought it before realizing I'm a math retard.

You should learn how to use it. In my opinion its the best calculator ever devised, as simple or as complex as you want.

I have know idea what possessed me to buy this but it looked way too cool. And Saddie gave her approval.

I've got all my fingers and toes, so I can get to 21. Much beyond that, though...   Rotfl

I found this vintage Alfred Herbert Jr. surface grinder on a used machinery site. Thought I'd take a punt as the price seemed fair, and I'm glad I did. Its in remarkable condition for its age, has a simple one shot enclosed lubrication system, and a lever operated manual table which operates effortlessly. This will be a nice addition to my retirement workshop. Today I installed a set of casters so I can easily move it around in my storage unit, as I need the wheeled dolly to for the Opus die filer that's being delivered tomorrow; an ebay buy.

For no apparent reason, other than it looked cool I put a low bid on one of these and won.

 Its an Arboga ER 1830. Any idea of a weight ? I've seen 800 and 1000 pounds listed in ads, looks heavier. Now I need to haul it home and find a spot.
