This calculator really doesn’t offer much for a collector. I don’t remember the switches being great, it’s typical VFD, it has a weird external AC PSU, and it’s just a single chip design.

But it’s surprisingly pretty in person and not unpleasant to use. I mostly picked it up because it seems so quintessentially 70s though that it could make a great prop piece.
