The
TI-1706 II got an enhanced keyboard compared to the original TI-1706 introduced
two years earlier. The design is similar to the somewhat smaller TI-1100
II. The TI-1766 II uses similar keys but
feels more valuable. Don't miss the TI-108 as the
most successful derivative of the calculator line.
The TI-1106 calculator introduced
one year later uses an identical housing but sports a +/-
key instead the AC-key.
Within one year the design changed slightly, don't miss the later TI-1706 II. A similar calculator was introduced with the TI-1746.
With the TI-605 and TI-606 variations with a tiltable display appeared.
Dismantling
the TI-1706 II gives with the S32R-II designation on the printed circuit board
(PCB) a hint to its true contract
manufacturer. It seems to be a design of Kinpo
Electronics, Inc. manufactured in its Compal
Electronics, Inc. plant. Learn more about the Date
codes used with Texas Instruments calculators. This calculator sports the
Date code
C-0885.
