I'm so excited.

Excelent cosmetic condition, except for a curious detail. Made in USA. Probably non-working

I am surprised by the quality of the leather poach, which is also in excellent condition.

I am aware of the issues with AC powering

Battery pack was fairly corroeded, but not a Fukushima-grade disaster. Oddly enough, there are two "+" keys and no "x" key. So somebody must have been playing with this before. The two screws visible in the battery compartment seem to be disimilar, another sign of previous manipulation. Whoever did it, it was very carefully done, no scratches or any other external damage.

Congratulations! Enjoy your "new" calculator!

Though the pouch being shipped with such a calculator was no real leather but some kind of soft plastic although many sellers on TAS claim such pouches are leather. That could be a sign of no idea but I don't know.
