I bought this because I mistook the VFD for LEDs under poor quality thrift store lighting. I’m hunting for a mythical desktop LED calculator from the 70s because they just don’t seem to exist or at least aren’t common.
But this isn’t a bad adding machine style calculator. It has all the features you could really want. The keys don’t feel bad but don’t have the distinct ting of reed switches so I’m not sure what they are. The shape is unusual with the vertical display. It makes the calculator seem cheap in a weird way though. Maybe it’s the lack of printer behind the display.
