Oh mama, now this is a calculator! Reed switches, pretty case, Panaplex display, weird memory lever…yes. This is a very nice calculator and earns its desirability when you have a chance to use it in person. Outside it looks cheap with the white and brown plastic, but inside it’s built like a tank and it feels like it when you use it. The switches glide and the ting from the reed switches are just so nice.
The Nixie related Panaplex display has a pleasing glow to it that no filtered VFD could ever replace. This is really a nice calculator. It’s shame it is marred by having a weird power cable, but cutting a figure 8 cable in half and jamming it over the outside prongs will work, but I’m not going to say it’s a good idea.
