Threaded Mode | Linear Mode

Great little cal. Just got one at the flea market for five bucks!

Problem is, continuous memory seems to be non existent. Those familiar will know memory and program lines are interchangeable on a one for eight basis.

So by selecting MODE .20 I get 20 memories and 512 fully merge able program lines. Unfortunately when I turn the machine off the programs erase and I get 83 memories and 000 lines of program at next turn on.

Any ideas? I have cleaned internals, checked connections, can't find any caps for memory retention although I suspect it actually taps into the batteries while the calc is off.

Help, I would like to get this running as I have a cassette deck and fa-2 interface. Guess I can always turn it on, load it from the cassette deck but the treat about this calc is it is only a cm thick and I don't want to lug around the rest of the paraphernalia.
