I have come to the conclusion that it must either be a disease or a genetic dispostion. Some people simply have to collect stuff...
When prices of vintage calculators started to rise to the current level I was sort of kicked out of that game. My income is simply insufficient to continue adding to this collection apart from the odd novelty calculator and some lucky find every now and then. So I intensified collecting other stuff that I can still afford, e.g. (mainly cheap) watches.

Here is my Panamatik Woodstock Low Power (still not in it's housing because it has some residual issues) surrounded by a dozen Swatches, all of them the same model ("Irony Diaphane Chrono Full Blooded") but in different colors. The calculator displays GPS synchronised time which is useful for setting the watches after a battery change - about the only use I have for a calculator now. And I probably spent about the same amount for all those watches together (some of which are unused!) as for the calculator.
