    I inherited one of these calculators when a grandmother died. No box and slightly roughed up, but it still works!
    Nice retro movie camera, BTW.

    I love the way the keys clicked on those old Texas instrument calculators. All calculator keys nowadays just sort of mush.

    My first hand held calculator would only x+-and /. I got it on my Gulf CC and it cost me $100. Much later in the late 70s, I had one of the TI's like yours. Can't remember what it cost me then.

    Looking forward to more retro tech. That stuff brings back the memories. I remember buying my first calculator back in 1977 for use in college. We couldn't use it in class, still had to use slide rules for physics and statistics, but they got a lot of use at home for homework.

    You'd could get a decent price on Ebay for that with the complete box and adaptor and paperwork.When I was in tech school, many decades ago, the TI SR-10 was what I had. Your inner nerd was in full flight if you had one of those hanging from your belt! It was at least $100. Of course the guys with Rich Dads had HP's!!!

    I think I had an LED TI calculator that took a 9V battery. It lasted about an hour if you don't turn it off after making a calculation. At best, I think I could get a week out of it using it a few times a day...lol

    I remember my parents having a Sharp Calculator from late 1970s or early 1980s. Had a green LED display and used 4 AA batteries.
    ThT Pentax is nice. The parents still have a working Canon AE-1
