The Texas Instruments scientific calculators I used in high school would quit working after about a year. The Casio graphing calculator I had in college also didn't outlast my college years. But this thing I had since I was five or six years old still runs like new. I recently acquired a HP-45 that I used the DeoxIT on and it works great now. I’ve been bringing old calculators and watches back to life lately and I guess it goes along with the nostalgia of re-appreciating old vinyl, which still amazes me with the lasting quality of it. Maybe it’s worth starting a thread in Tech Talk about the electronic devices. |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
(Moving to Calculator Talk...)
My high school calculator. I can't believe it still runs off a battery the age of which I couldn't even guess. It's a rebranded Casio FX-3600P. I 'cleverly' inverted the mode button so if someone stole it, I'd be able to identify it as my own. :lol: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...23c7acb332.jpg |
