RE: The Can(n)on that fizzled
One of my nicest vintage scientific calculators is a Canon Palmtronic. It has a form factor similar to an Hp 50G. It is powered by 4 AA cells and has a nice quality feel, certainly head and shoulders above Ti. In some ways it may be the best calculator of the mid seventies as far as build quality. The LEDs are not bright, but readable and the batteries would last for a long time. It had no charger and the batteries are off the shelf AAs.

Nice function set. As I said, it is one of my prized possessions.
