My first school scientific calculator was a Casio fx-2000, which was, I think, functionally identical to the fx-1000 but had a more compact, slimline look on account of it being powered from a couple of LR44s. I remember that it cost 24.95 GBP at a technical trade fare that was being held in Harrogate, Yorkshire. At the time (~1977), the LCD Casios hadn't made it to regular retail outlets.

It was certainly the first LCD calculator in my school. The build quality contrasted favourably with the low end Commodore scientifics that were in general circulation.

The fx-2000 is now also a very rare find.
