RE: Most common calculators in the forum? - TheKaneB - 12-28-2017 12:43 AM Here it is my list HP 12C (original version, it sparked my interest in financial calculations) 15C (bad conditions, but my favourite one nonetheless!) 35S (not as bad as many users think, I like the solver) 28C 50G (THE calculator IMHO) Prime (a gift from my girlfriend!) 30B (soon) 48S (dead) CASIO fx-82MS fx-991ES Plus (very nice basic calculator) SHARP EL-540 EL-5120 Solver (my first scientific calculator, I got it 2 decades ago and started my interest in calculators and math) EL-9900 (was very nice, but dead display after a few months, don't touch it) ELW506 (the keyboard is garbage, but a nice basic calculator otherwise) TEXAS TI-89 (the display is poor, but I like the programming model) Voyage 200 (very nice for programming) TI-92 (dead) I'd like to get some Casio and TI graphing calculators, and also some HP pioneer series (the 42S looks amazing but it's really expensive in my area).

The only calculator I keep in my desk drawer is a K&E 4083-3, and my EDC is an early model Pickett N600-ES with a CIF scale. I have several HP emulators installed on my computer, but Emu48 definitely gets used the most. You should probably lump the SR-40 in with the original TI-30, as they are exactly identical except for the location of the key labels (on keys vs. on bezel.) They were even introduced on the same day. TI apparently felt that double-shot keys justified a doubling of the initial list price, from $25 for the TI-30 to $50 for the SR-40.

Not so interested in the 8000G because it's basically a watered down 8500G but if I do see one going cheap I'll grab it. The 7500G clamshell thingy? Meh...

Salvo RE: Most common calculators in the forum? - Maximilian Hohmann - 12-30-2017 10:42 AM Hello, some recent additions from me as well (mostly non-HP I am afraid): -> HP-25 (working) -> HP-14B (working, this must be my first "normal" 14B, I already had 2x the anniversary model) -> Ti-83+ (2x) -> Ti-84+ -> Ti-89 Titanium (no.2 for me beside a non-titanium Ti-89) -> Casio FX-880P "Scientific Library" (that's a real powerful little pocket computer which would deserve a writeup on it's own) -> Lexon "Rulercal" -> BWK Business (I always thought this to be a kind of German clone of the HP-12C but now I know it isn't - among other things one can connect it to a PC via USB and use it as numeric keypad) -> Privileg 585 D-E-NC (green VFD scientific, working, the original NiCd battery even holds it's charge) -> Airtour CRP-1 (circular slide rule for aviation) RE: Most common calculators in the forum? - grsbanks - 12-30-2017 11:12 AM (12-30-2017 10:42 AM)Maximilian Hohmann Wrote: -> Casio FX-880P "Scientific Library" (that's a real powerful little pocket computer which would deserve a writeup on it's own) Very true. I have one of those myself. Bought it new when it first came out, so that's a good few years ago The BASIC interpreter is quite fast for a machine of this one's age and I like the way you can treat the databank a bit like a sequential file.

RE: Most common calculators in the forum? - EdS2 - 12-31-2017 09:26 AM A recent addition to my collection, received as a seasonal gift: a Sperry Remington 661D - 6 digits displayed, up to 12 calculated, fixed point. From 1972 or so, actually made by Casio, and with a Hitachi chip. See also here and here.

It's virtually identical to the 661-D, but moves the power switch from the front face to the side. It's a bit hard to find, but if you like weird Casio Mini adaptations, I recommend the Root-8S.
