Shame 33$ off ebay and not useful as a paper weight.
I have a CX which can't use them, but I intentionally got a couple anyway (although maybe only about $10 each) for the possibility of building something else into them at a later date, like NoVRAM.

I have removed the (82160A memory module from an HP-41CV) ... Shame 33$ off ebay and not useful as a paper weight. Guess it will go into the parts box.
I'd keep it in case you decide to acquire an HP-41C to complete an HP-41 collection: C, CV, CX. "Fullnut" models (1979-84/85) have nicer, more-legible displays, and the earliest models of these (e.g., C and CV from 1979-80) have shorter, but bolder, display segments.
The first-year HP-41C is of the steep-edged "tall keys" design carried forward from LED-display models that immediately preceded it. The later key design was better, but the original has some collector value...
