Collecting calculators?

[Outbackmanyep]

Some time ago there was a thread on here regarding an IIS member who was collecting a lot of hand held calculators.....

I have one here but could the real calculator buff please stand up?

Cheers!

IIRC, Chris (Omaroo) is one such wierdo, er collector, :lol: I think there may be one or two others

Hewlett Packard calculator nerd - reporting.....

Some say I'm sneaky... but I reckon that I'm more calculating than that... ;)

I'm more likely to take it if it's a TI, everyone collects HP's!! :)

Cheers,
Jason.

Nah - TI's have that silly "=" key! What's with that? :lol:

Hi all,
I have a SHARP ELSI 122 that i found in a cupboard here at work! I don't have batteries on hand to see if it still works but it's pretty funky!
Are you collecting these types of calulator Omaroo or anybody?

Cheers!

[Omaroo]

Thanks for the thought Chris :)

Whilst I'm pretty-much dedicated to collecting HP's alone, I'll bet that there is someone here who collects old Casios. There are hundreds of Elsi-Mate versions that make collecting them a challenge.

Thanks again for the post :thumbsup:

I'd thought about collecting calculators at one point but on working out my budget, the numbers just didn't add up ;)

The contents of this box is complete, right down to my original purchase receipt. Can you get replacement battery packs?

It's not for sale though. :P

[Omaroo]

The HP-67 is still quite common Andrew, and easy to get for US$50-60 or so in the USA. If you can't get a new battery pack then maybe buy a whole machine and salvage the pack from it...

Nice little machine though! :)

Thanks Omaroo!
I'll hang onto it, it might be a museum piece one day! LOL
