I bought this calculator from 1956 at a thrift store yesterday for $25. Going to get it fixed up and in working order. Good purchase?

I could have done that square root faster with pen-and-paper.

After watching the YT video of it being used- very cool. Have to say though: enjoying it means actually using it.

I picked up an old receiver, and keeping it meant actually using the radio (AM and FM) and turning the stations. I do actuually get enjoyment out of it because... i use it,

So make sure you make it a session of number crunching that you would enjoy showing off to people or playing with.

Reminder not to use WD-40 liberally. Only in problem spots if you have to, and you need to clean it away afterward. It's not a lubricant. If you don't clean it up, it will cause a lot of stuff to get stuck again.

why is there always at least one of you attention-seeking faggots in every one of these threads acting like you're the first person to tell someone something is slow or old, as if OP looked at this thing and thought "wow this is going to be SO MUCH FASTER AND NEWER than the many dollar store calculators I already own"

minimalist millennial are as cancerous as they are vapid and boring

>>60394285
couldnt even watch that all the way. I made it half way though and had to quit..
>>60394179
its not practical in the least. Unless you are a colector
>good purchase?
no

>its not practical in the least.
I know right. OP obviously thought this contraption would give him an edge on his math homework. Good thing we set him straight lol.
>>
>>60399962
Hi op!
You should have counter offered 5 or 10 for it.

You are the worst piece of shit faggot.
I wish cancer on you.

>>60402041
they're not garage sales dipshit, if you don't like the price don't buy it
$25 isn't even all that unreasonable for something unusual and complex like that, and still fucking nothing unless you're a NEET living on birthday money
>>
>>60394179
Yeah man that's some instrument you've got there. You should get out and start busking- play some jewish folk songs n stuff.
