Hi Jeff.About the CASIO FX-502P that was my first calculator (my dad passed it to me when I was 12 beginning high school) and yes, it's fully programmable and it came with a thick nicely printed manual containing listings for hundreds programs you could type in the calculator, then save it to cassette tape via the adapter.I remember it was even a "biorhythm" program that was kinda cool thing in the early 80s (inputting your birth date and current date and having a computer telling you how you'd feel LOL).
It was one of the first scientific-engineering programmable pocket calculators in South America; and this one had the extra capability of composing music, using one of the overlays your received and making your own music cassette!.A truly vintage one of a kind.

Hey Jeff! Careful in handling that equipment! Some of it is Sharp!

Looking forward to seeing that printer work!

It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain these computers in Japan.
I am very surprised that there is such a wonderful collection so far away from Japan.
My FX-860PVC/PB-100/Z-1 also has LCD problems and can no longer be repaired.
I feel a little sad that there is no way to repair these.

It may have been used in places like construction sites.
I enjoy watching your show every time. Thank you.

The Nagus would be pleased. Though his ears might not be with the tape.😁

It works, "Excellent!" Dig it
