On my (loved) HP-34C I obtain 3.141592654. It is a 1980 model (S/N begins with *2045S... and I bought it in 1980).

Larry, I noticed that readout in the EBay auction. I thought they just keyed the digits in that way, mistaking it for Pi. I don't think it is a failure (except in the seller's mind!).

I would guess that the seller just keyed in 3.14159265358, rather than hit the PI key, and the calculator display stopped at the ...53. My 34 returns 54 as the last digits, I would be surprised if any of the 34s returned something other than this with the PI key.
