The
third design of the TI-1706 looks at first glance
identical to the second design but deciphering the Date
codes suggests Inventec
Corporation in Taiwan as contract manufacturer of the calculator. Earlier
calculators were manufactured
by Compal Electronics in
Taiwan.
Dismantling
this TI-1706 manufactured in March 1984 reveals a completely different internal
construction compared with the previous TI-1706.
Later calculators removed the "LIGHT POWERED" sign, don't
miss the 4rd design of the TI-1706.
