Restoring my Commodore P50 calculator with a little solder and a 3D printer

  Impressive that this is made in Hong Kong: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIUo36pxXVbnqMI_EKzfqoaAHGuoNjJyR4CCYXm-td7C3ywCkCCwmcrG1Sg7R6wR6hFO4UUwyzfOWEh9RHleDAJDr1NZ4evoGoNfkiE2pWfBzmdDmwlorgZ2ZqxnphjcYFg2jKslkIRBwdCDOwWb4iN9Qhdhx3pqJiE11cvdWZwQIMsi-kbsU/s2599/commodore1.jpg https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi...

    Hong Kong used to be the equivalent of China for cheap production, hence the top gun quote of 'flying rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong' in the original 80s movie

      Now Honkers is just another small part of China. The Borg are rather merciless.

        "The Borg are rather merciless." Bless 'em! I wonder if the Eye of Sauron will sweep this place again ...

  Very nice! I wish I could fix my old TI scientific calculator (circa 1975). If you turn it on, random LED segments flash, until it freezes up. Sigh. It was a good doggie.

    I bet it can be. Does it use NiCd batteries?
    • WalterBright 4y ago
      It used a custom electronic battery a EE made for me after the custom nicd one died.
