A very basic calculator with solar cells and a memory. In 1999 most calculators sold in Europa carried an Euro-conversion like the €-2001.

TI-1726_PCB.jpg (98370 Byte)This early TI-1726 from the first production year uses still a conventional IC-housing. Later models used the chip-on-board (COB) technique. 
The Sharp LI-3154 calculator chip was used in the cheap TI-503SV, too.

A somewhat sleeker calculator was available with the TI-1706SV.

In 2003 Texas Instruments introduced with the TI-503SV, TI-1706SV and TI-1795SV a new calculator design style and reshaped the TI-1726 slightly. 

This Solar Little Professor is one of the 6 calculators that were awarded with the Blue Angle environmental label. But Texas Instruments never decorated the calculator with the logo.
