TI-58C and TI-59
I've been wanting a pair of TI-58C and TI-59 calculators in as pristine condition as I could find. I finally got a very clean 58C the other day (with original box, books, etc.). After fixing a broken battery terminal (common), I popped in a rebuilt battery pack and it works great.
The TI-59 card reader works, but not consistently. I've had it apart a couple times and verified the drive wheel is solid. I had another parts TI-59 with a fairly solid card reader, as well, and swapped them back and forth without much luck. I've found that the flat sandwich wiring they use for those is brittle after all these years and ruined one during that testing. Having a fully working one is still a goal, but I'm not keen on taking the card reader out any more to preserve its wiring. |
