Thanks for sharing this David. Just imagine the work that went in to building it. Wow. Back then folks had a little different way of looking at things than now. This was also about the time they started giving away free 4 function calculators for a fill up at your local pump. People were filling up just to get a hold of one. Cool thing about that hand made calculator is, it's the only one like it. A real keeper. Dennis
