Elektronika MK 60 calculator: my summer gift from Russia
I had friends visiting family in Moscow during the summer.
And then they asked me about what I would like to have as a gift from there. Well, my answer was simple: Go to a street market and bring me a Russian pocket calculator! The older, the better. Apparently shopping in street markets can be tricky and be very time consuming. If you go to the central areas the asking prices is too high, then you spend hours commuting to reach the ones where the prices are lower and by the time you arrive there the fair is closing and most seller are gone. So they spent a couple of days touring around. I felt a little bit guilty for steeling quality time from them, but hey, they asked! And here it is. It was dirty with marks of glue, has a few dents and the keys are scratched. But is works nicely, as long as the environment light is strong enough to enable the solar panel. The pouch is unusual but nice and soft. This specimen was made in USSR on Sept-1988 (IX 88 on the back cover) and the official price was 45 Rubles. Seven segment 8 digits LCD display, with 3 indicators on the right. From to to bottom: "П" - Memory in use ( Память = Memory) "_" - Minus signal "Е" - Error The factory seal is in place. It just takes a little steam to be removed without damage. (to be continued) Jose Mesquita RadioMuseum.org member |
