Presenting your collection of non HP calculators, is anyone interested of that?

1. In the display showing 0.14?8571, is the "?" character a 2?

2. What is the "Alarm" indicator for on the upper left? Does the machine get alarmed if you divide by zero? It seems the Error indicator would be enough...

I'm not a fan of the Anita machine as it is, but I think it would look a lot better with larger LED or VFD digits.

Thanks again.

it is the character "2". As I mentioned, the style of the characters is very specific. Here all numbers are shown:

The red alarm indicator to the left is related to the power supply: it indicates a situation, where the charger is plugged in but the battery is not charged.

"Error" on the right side is related to calculator errors as expected and is close to the minus sign.
