Another Batch of Calcs

KermMartian · Posted: 15 Jul 2010 08:27:30 pm Post subject: Another Batch of Calcs

Another batch of savvily eBay'd calcs arrived! The TI-83+ at far left was $8 with shipping, and has some graphics glitches. The TI-83+ at near left seems perfectly functional, and was $12.42 with shipping. The TI-82 at near right is fully-functional, and together with the fully-functional TI-85 at far right was $0.99 with $12 shipping.

Here's a gratuitous shot of a bit less than half of my calculator collection, the ones that I have with me; the remaining 12-15 or so (I forget the exact breakdown, although I know there's at least an 89, an 86, a 73, and 83, and at least 8 TI-83+s) are at my parents' house.

From top to bottom, that's a raw 83+ mobo and LCD, Ultimate Calc 2 (a modded TI-83+), four TI-83+s, TI-81, TI-82, TI-85, TI-84+. I'll have to share my full collection once the other half turns up. Smile

So many.

Better take out batteries when you store the calculators or the batteries can spill and risk the calculator.

*bump* Since my last post I got a broken 84+SE for $10 plus shipping, and I found after some investigation that what broke is that it had soda spilled in/on it. I did basic cleaning and tested it, and now it powers on, except it drains the batteries in a matter of a dozen or two dozen seconds. There must still be residue somewhere inside it shorting out components. Does anyone have experience with similar problems with calculators?

no, but my dad's old cellphone had a similar issue after it got washing machined. The thing still worked, but it had a short somewhere that drained it really fast.

hmm, that looks like quite a bit of fun. Maybe I should look at picking up another calc or two and getting one of those built.
