I am not sure if anyone here collects old calculators or not...

I got a Commodore 796M (electronic calculator) today at a thrift shop. It even had it's warranty card and instruction leaflet that describes it as a "personal mini computer"! It dates back to 1976. Not a bad scoop for $2.00 [🙂] ]'>

Buy yourself a slide-rule and a book of tables to find out. 😉

I've been snagging cool vintage calcs for a few years now - I don't have any Commodore units yet, but I do have one of these:

My favorite by far.
