A guy on Craigslist not in my neck of the woods was selling a "broken" HP 19C for $10. I gave him $5 in shipping and got the calculator, the original box, a box of thermal paper, and all the manuals. The calculator did not turn on, but a trip to Batteries Plus and $22 fixed that. Now the calculator works perfectly, even the printer. I am super excited about the calculator (especially for $37), but I have two questions:
1) The AC adapter is only putting out 3V instead of 8V. Is this something that can be fixed? I would really hate to cut the calculator end off of it to put a new adapter on it.
2) What is the going rate for the 19C? There is only one for sale on TAS, and that one has a broken printer. I haven't seen a price for a fully functional one. I am not interested in selling it right now, but want to make sure that I don't get taken if I ever decide to sell or trade.
