The HP-34C can be seen for a split-second in the new EDF spot shown on french TV and cinema. The spot basically features how electric appliances accompany a young man throughout his life. The 34C evidently appears early in the spot, when the young man is in his 20s studying. Great commercial, great calculator.

 I saw the spot, too. Are you sure it's a 34C? My guess was a HP-67... J-F ▼

I remember seeing a French movie (while I lived in France in 1978) starring Jean-Louis Trintignant who was a statistician for an insurance company and used an HP-65 to calculate the probability that people around him would die what "seems" a natural death (I may be off on the plot ... it's been a while since 1978). The movie was certainly a big plug for the HP-65. It even had a nice closeup shot of the calculator. It made you want to go out an buy one. Of course in that year the HP-67 was being sold. I remember staying glued to the TV set. ▼

I have a jpg image of the calc taken from the video, but I don't know how to post it here. It's definitely not a 65 or 67, that's for sure. Any ideas how I might publish the image? ▼

Hello, how big is the image, and how big is the video, supposed that it's an mpg file? Maybe ask Dave? Raymond ▼ ▼

Raymond, I just sent you the image. I have yet to find a way to transfer the video; it's huge (6MB). Will you make the image available to the community, so we can answer the question once and for all which model was featured?

Hi Andreas, thanks for the picture. It's an HP-33 (E or C) . This can only be distinguished if seen from the front.
It can be viewed here:
For the video: You could slice it into two or three pieces Regards, Raymond

It could be a codec problem. The Spice appears around 20" in the movie. Massimo ▼

Divx files have an .avi extension... Use an editor and look at the beginning of your file: do you see "vidsdivx" and "DX50" strings? Massimo

Yes, as the 34c has three shifts (f, g, h), and this one only has the f and g.

Notice that the power cord is fake... it does not go where it should. Or mayby the battery contacts were corroded and somebody soldered the cord directly to the circuit board... and added internal filter and regulation circuitry.

A news photo from 2000 of Enron's energy trading center in Houston accompanied an article that ran in the June 15, 2004 edition of the (Portland) Oregonian. A blond, bespectacled trader in the foreground of the photo has a Voyager-series HP calc in front of him. I would suspect that it is a 12C, given its availability and the (ahem) "business" work being performed in the center. The credit for the photo is Phillippe Diederich of Getty Images. The article is by Richard A. Oppel of the New York Times News Service. The content of the article is more interesting than the image of the HP calc... |
