Well, the lowest price that I've heard of for the hp48sx is $149 from ElekTek. Does anyone have ElekTek's phone number? Please post it publicly as I'm sure there are alot of people that would like to know.

I believe that that's $249. $149 would be a 57% discount from list, which sounds a bit more than likely. Sorry, I don't have their number... --Mike

For those who need it, ElekTek's number is 800-621-1269. Make sure they have units in stock.

If ElekTek has the hp48sx for $149, I'll give you $50 for their phone number.

First of all, I called ElekTek myself, and they are indeed selling the hp48sx for $249 (not a ridiculous $149), so my money is safe, despite Ron Bannon's attempt to claim otherwise by mail. However, Ron did give me ElekTek's address, so I'll pass that on: Elek-Tek 7350 North Linder Avenue Department C1133 Skokie, Illinois 60077-9833 800-621-1269 -- /*********/ Paul Caskey pcaskey@ariel.unm.edu Only lawyers represent anyone's ideas but their own. /*********/

I don't know if they have a toll-free number yet, but their local phone number is (708) 677-7660 (for those of you who have called them before, the area code changed last November). I plan on driving there after work to be awed by this calculator. [BTW, I will offer $50 for a used HP-28S.

I wasn't planning on flaming Elek-Tek, until I see all these postings asking for Elek-Tek's phone number. This is, I'm afraid, too much for me to deal with in silence. So, if you're an Elek-Tek fan hit 'n' now... Still with me? Good. When I ordered my 48sx from Elek-Tek they told me they had them in stock, I took this to mean that they would ship me one overnight. As it turned out they had one in the warehouse, but they sold it the week before to some guy in Toledo. Four days later (I paid for overnight delivery mind you) I received a box in the mail containing an HP41 IR printer interface and an AC adapter for a ThinkJet printer. I called them up and complained about this, and was asked to return the printer interface and AC adapter. When they received it they would ship me my 48sx, but they didn't have one in stock. The other two items I had ordered had never been in stock, and wouldn't be for another two to three weeks. I had to work to convince them that the 48sx even existed. I recall dealing with Elec-Tek 8 years ago, things went about the same. I would place an order for something and it would arrive 3 or 4 months later; I had hoped that things would have changed. In my opinion Elek-Tek survives because there are enough people who want to save $25 and don't mind waiting for their calculators. If that describes you, by all means deal with them, you'll get your 48sx eventually. Personally I value my time enough that I would rather deal with a company who charges me a little more but delivers what I order within a reasonable time (and who admits it when they don't have something in stock).

That's the case, unfortuantely, for Elek-Tek unless they really have it in stock and available to ship... I've dealt with them in the past w/o any problems, but I have heard of others with similar problems...
