48gx AVAILABLE.

I CAME ACROSS 4 hp 48'S, 3 ARE THE 48gx, AND ONE IS THE hp 48sx. 2 of them are still in the box, never been used! As a onetime user of these, I know that they can be treasured by some surveyors. There are also two 48G's, still in their box. An old eccentric retired NASA engineer had collected these, and his estate was auctioned off, and I got these, among other items. If anyone is interested, I am offering them for sale. Make an offer; I have no idea what they are worth. Send an email, and Iā€¦

    Hi everyone, Just want to say hi to everybody We will get this ball a rolling, talk about the old and the new. Because with the limited number of calculators in the market ,the hunt is on for the old ones.Just go to ebay and price a 48gx with TDS survey and ram cards.More than collectors want them.I get ask to sell mine all the time.the answer will always be no.I have some friends who sold their, now they wish they had not.

    good everyone.

    1201149358?profile=original?width=7501201149389?profile=original?width=7501201149485?profile=original?width=750Some pics of my HP48 with a protective "custom" leather-vinil-film cover and an adapted cable to connect directly to a Trimble total station, I can use it as a TS controller, data collector or handheld calculator (lot of help of the hp forum to do this).

    The back straps allow to hang the calc in a tripod "hands free mode".

    Glad to share my surveyor-inventor moments with you jajaa.
