I finally remembered to look into my boxes of HP calculators.  I don't
have an HP 32SII or something comparable.  In the scientific
calculator section, I found an HP 31E and a 32E.  Both of these are
low end RPN calculators with LED displays.  The 31E had a battery leak
at some time in the past and will require that I do some battery
contact rebuilding.  I can provide a complete list of what I have in
stock.
