I know we all like old computers but does anyone here collect old calculators? I have a ton laying around my place. My most recent acquisition was a Ti 86 and not long before that, I got an HP 12C that was made in USA in 1988 which I carry around with me now. However, most of my calculators came from the 1970s including a neat, aluminum clad Unisonic and a Radio Shack 10 digit model, both of which run off D cell batteries. I also have a very pretty looking Ti pocket calculator from the 70s and a Rockwell that would have been trendy back in it's day. However, the gem of my collection is pictured below. It's made by Sperry, it plugs into wall, has 12 digits and instead of a single display assembly, each digit has it's own display tube. At one point it didn't work and I got it free so I had fun taking it apart and repairing it. It's pictured below next to a modern calculator and a book of matches for size comparison.
