Interesting little Pioneer keyboard repair

Pretty much the full 17Bii capability including HP Solver, TVM, 1 & 2 variable statistics, probability and a real time clock & calendar with appointments. Add in a pretty decent set of scientific functions including hyperbolics, base arithmetic and conversions and you have a pretty nice pocket companion. It can even print. What's not to like?

Nice recovery, with a unique twist Mark!

I agree, the 27S is a great machine despite its Algebraic limitations. It has the best overall cross-section of built-in features of any of the Pioneers, possibly of all. Plus, my wife can use it too... (though she won't. I gave her a 12C Platinum (in Alg. mode - she refuses to consider RPN) some time ago, and she won't give it up for better machines. I told her I get it.)

There were rumors for some time (ages ago) of a 27SII, which would have added RPN, like the 17BII, 19BII, etc. but it seems it was only a passing thought, as no samples have ever been seen.
