You could call this calculator the small brother of the TI-1750. It uses a very similar electronic in a slightly smaller housing than its predecessor. The calculator was available till the year 1982.

 Disassembling the featured TI-1750-II with Date code 070 and manufactured in July 1980 by Toshiba Corporation in Japan reveals a simple construction and a very clean layout centered around a Toshiba T3709 single-chip calculator circuit soldered on a single-sided printed circuit board (PCB) and powered by 2 small LR54 batteries. One of the tricks we noticed is a keyboard assembly with rubber keys instead the plastic molded keys of similar calculators. The Toshiba T3709 chip was used with the 3rd version of the TI-1750, too.

Inspecting the PCB of this TI-1750-II calculator brought our attention to a small mark reading TI-1750II TOSHIBA CORP. We started compiling a list of the PCB-Marks on calculators manufactured by OEMs for Texas Instruments.

Toshiba? Compare this calculator with the Toshiba LC-825.
