Wow - all this Pocket Computer activity.
One thing I encountered when replacing the Ni-Cd batteries in the
cassette/printer for my PC-2, was the printer requires these batteries
to be present even if the unit is operated on mains power. It uses the
batteries as a current sink, the mains unit
My PC-2 and CGP-115 do deserve medical grade printer pens. Nothing but the
best.

You can get new pens, as in actually new, not new old stock, from a german
medical supplies company, and you can get new motor pinion gears by 3d
printing believe it or not. I have also found the gear in brass, from a r/c
helicopter company, but those appear to be no longer manufactured, just
I had a PC6 in high school. I saved up all $120 or so to buy it. It was awesome
to have all of my electronics formulas programmed in. The ‘assembly’
programming on it was a joke as I recall; some sort of interpreted rubbish that
was worse than BASIC.

Wow, I didn't know that. I miss Radio Shack. I used to comb through their
catalogs as a kid dreaming about what stuff I would buy when I grew up.
I miss DAK catalogs, too.

Sharp actually continued making the PC series of pocket computers into the
early 2000s. The last model (the PC-G850VS) can show bitmapped graphics, is
programmable in BASIC, C, and Z80 assembly, and has an 8-bit parallel user
port.

I have a PC-6 which I used in high school. It was such a cool "calculator"
for the time. I liked the earlier ones more, however, as they had more
cool accessories.
"Ready P0"
haha.

I'm a pocket computer fan too. My original was a PC-3 that I used through
high school. At some point it died and I got a PC-7 which I used through
college and early career. In the mean time the PC-3 had been repaired by a
friend but the PC-7 was a better calculator for my needs at that time.
I'll keep that in mind. But so far, so good.
