Check what I found in home at clearing :

I don't know if it is rare and valuable but it is very nice. Old green digits. Small dimension and aluminium case-cover. 1975 year. I repaired power supply from batteries and will keep as favourite calculator at home Smile

As I good remeber chip68 collect them (thousands). It will be great to hear his opinion Wink

BTW Here is description of this item :

I think the most intriguing thing about it is the pseudo-RPN addition/subtraction... Few manufacturers (apart from HP) used anything but straight algebraic entry. Otherwise, pretty standard hardware. Nice find, though!

Thanks for opinion Smile

I learned how to use that. Example 10 - 2 must be entered :

10 + 2 -

and we have correct result 8

if we type 10 - 2 we will have -8

hehehe

This is interesting, so really, calculators have a significant value not only in itself, but the chip inside , I presume as well?. I must start keeping an eye out for these as well.

You see, someone should compel a list of special electronics that people like me don't know to look for.

Exp. We all know computers, some printers, some typewritters, calculators...what else ?

I tend to assume if I see anything electronic that it might have something of interest in it. If it is not worth keeping whole (such as a printer or scanner with mechanical faults or a TV with a burnt out tube) then I'll strip it down, and if nothing is of interest to me as a collector, it is all of interest as scrap (more so when different metals and component types are separated out...).

Even a childs cuddly toy that makes a noise when squeezed (or thrown...) could yield something interesting.

These chips came from a fridge...

Of course, it was the size of your average minivan.
