I would like to get a couple of those Kinpo calculators, the SG1 and SG2 possibly. Heres the URL, I couldn't find a sales point. http://www.kinpo.com.tw/English/Calculator.htm

Those machines are available under the "Citizen" brand. I have the SG1 (official Citizen name is different, I don't recall), but could'nt find the "SG2" anywhere, including the official branch. YMMV.

I've seen other sites state that one or both of those are clones of the Kinpo made HP 9G or 9S, with only minor cosmetic differences. I haven't bothered to compare them, so I don't know if it's true or not. The 9G is still available from HP's web site AFAIK.

I'm pretty sure that the Datexx DS-883 is a rebadged Kinpo SG2 (also same as Citizen SRP-400G). The DS-83 can be bought directly from Datexx for $60, but it's not hard to find it in Fleebay.

I'm not so sure about the Kinpo SG1, but it may be the same as the HP-9G, which in turn is the same as the Citizen SRP-320G.

It appears that link is wrong. The correct link has two 'x's at the end, as in www.datexx.com.

Corrected link: Datexx

BTW, interesting! I never heard of them, but intriguing.

thanks! bruce

Just don't put an extra x in there.

My goodness!

If anything, I was being *too* cautious with the x's!
