It's always time to hit google and wikipedia!  :D

I am sure there is a simulator for these somewhere on the interwebs. They were in use a bit before my time so I don't know how to use them. I think it is something along the lines that in log scale multiplication becomes summation or something like that.

Anyway the one I would really like is a mechanical watch with slide rule bezel. Those look neat. But they are quite expensive. Also just a day ago I got my latest vostok amphibia watch so no need for a new one any time soon... nop no need at all... I SAID NO NEED TO SQUANDER MY HARD EARNED CASH ON ANOTHER ANACHRONISTIC (does this count as a pun?  :D) PIECE OF GEAR!!!  :twak: :twak: :twak: :twak:

When I first started teaching, the science room I found myself in had a giant slide ruler classroom demonstrator. It was 5 feet long.

Ok, photo time.

The latest purchase, a Texas Instrument Ti 84 Plus CE. CL4P-TP approved.




Here is a 1988 Sharp EL-509S scientific calculator. Needed for my High School science and math classes.




A Sharp ELSI MATE EL-344G.




A Sanyo CX 2570 bought around 85ish.




A KMC 5500C calculator from the mid 80s. Used on the job site which explains its rough condition.


The group shot.



I gave away my large graphing calculators to a friend's kid that was entering University. He got a Radio Shack EC-4034, a Texas Instrument Ti 84, and a Casio CFX-9800G. I didn't have anymore use for them...although I am having slight remorse due to this thread Detron.  :pok:  :twak:  :D

I still have a Casio fx-6300G kicking around in deep storage upstairs where it shall remain. Getting at it would be a labor intensive activity at best.

A KMC 5500C calculator from the mid 80s. Used on the job site which explains its rough condition.


The group shot.



I gave away my large graphing calculators to a friend's kid that was entering University. He got a Radio Shack EC-4034, a Texas Instrument Ti 84, and a Casio CFX-9800G. I didn't have anymore use for them...although I am having slight remorse due to this thread Detron.  :pok:  :twak:  :D

I still have a Casio fx-6300G kicking around in deep storage upstairs where it shall remain. Getting at it would be a labor intensive activity at best.

 :salute:

no sympathy from me.  a stumbled upon your Toolbox draw shots on google images, and ended up at MTO, spent a lot of money.     :rofl:
the radio Shack EC-3034 is the same as the Casio 7700G.  my manual for my 7700g, is the one from a EC-4034.    :rofl:
If I can help, let me know

When I first started teaching, the science room I found myself in had a giant slide ruler classroom demonstrator. It was 5 feet long.
Those came in 4ft and 7ft sizes.  Here's my 4 footer hanging in my office, once again proving that I'm the biggest nerd here:

That is the exact model that was in the corner of the classroom for ages. When I got into the room (back in 2002), we no longer taught slide rulers.  :tu:

Sorry about the trap Detron.  :rofl:

I had my first calculator in my last year at school. I don´t remember the exact type but it was a Texas Instruments. Before that, they were not allowed and I used a slide rule. Later, for work, I got myself a Casio fx-7000G graphing calculator, must have been the mid eighties. I still have it. I liked programmable calculators, but later switched to CAS programs like Macsyma. As a hybrid, I ran the TI-92 emulator on my desktop, allowing me to even change the ROM software, should I want to. At the time everything I needed to run it was available for download at the TI website, but that didn´t last very long.

Now that I´m a gardener and no longer do any IT or maths related stuff, I don´t use calculators any more. But this thread is a nice trip down memory lane!
