Uh, that would be your everyday survey use HP45. I've seen far worse that still work after thirty years in the field.
If you needed a classic charger and battery to rebuild, that might end up being a good deal. Even better, if you like restoration projects, that 45 would be good fun. Nothing there that a good cleaning, some elbow grease and silver paint wouldn't freshen up.
Just because you're old and showing your age - would you want to be discarded in the trash? That 45 could probably teach us all a few things... but then I'm speaking for myself ;^)
