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. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
