@HifiCentret VFD. Cool. Thanks for the info.
-
@stupidiculous Me2. However calculators today are cheap things even "high quality" ones.
Btw. It's not LED. it's VFD. Vacuum Flourescent Display - a form of radio tube in family with magic eyes and CRTs. In this every number it's own tube but in later VFD calculators there's only one multi digit tube.

Wow! High pricy device!!! :)))

I wish my calculator was silent!
-
Today, there would likely be a decimal point after the 3 in the price tag. If not, before the 3. xD
-
345 dollars! holly crap! man, now we can get a calculator smaller than that for like, 5$. but for it's time it was revelotionary. it was pre-personal computers (main streem pcs, that is), so it was pretty cool back then. but im only guessing that scence i'm only 11.

So this is where Steve Jobs developed his pricing strategy!

Mmm, $345 in United States for sure, any other part of the planet --like Mexico-- it would have cost three times as much.

It's funny to look at tall the kids posting in amazment at the price and size of this thing. In '71 or'72 it was a huge productivity enhancer for people who had to do numbers all day. Remember that numbers didn't come pre-crunched out of a computer then either. Calculators were a godsend for anyone in accounting, inventory control, insurance, all kinds of stuff. $345 was cheap compared to hiring a clerk to do all that math.

remember the bulky ADDING MACHINES that used to be. we had a pastel green one with a white cord.
It was as heavy as a large telephone book and bigger.
It literally had mechanical parts and would make noise in order to work the figures. And no digital read-out, If you didn't have a spool of paper, it was useless.
