2015's calculator anniversary - the SR-52

[jebem]

Ok, just for fun, I'm posting some pictures of the dismantling.
And a few more notes as well.

Did I mentioned that opening a Texas is extremely easy? Yes, it is. And safe, too, unless one's absolutely careless.




Now the good surprise. The motor assembly (motor plus integrated gearbox) was "Swiss made".
Switzerland, the land of precision mechanisms among other good things (I like their milk chocolates too).

Card Reader motor engraved details:
Model: escap 15
Ref: C 11 110 16
Date code: 1 76
Gearbox Ref.: G 16.1 84:1

How cool is this?
