I have an HP-410B VTVM, still works fine and very useful since it can 
properly measure RF voltages.  I wouldn't use it most of the time, but 
it's really good to have around.

And I do have an HP-4P laser printer, bought about a decade ago at a 
Rotary Club garage sale for $15, has always worked fine.
