The
TI-305 and its solar power twin TI-306 appeared
together with the credit card sized TI-307. The rare TI-308
Elle cut out the memory from the basic design. All four calculators share a similar design with a valuable "look and feel".
Dismantling
a TI-306 is not too exciting, we know this type of construction from many
calculators manufactured in Far East or China.
Within some month the TI-306 was slightly redesigned to accommodate smaller
solar cells. Don't miss the second generation TI-306.
The first prototypes of the TI-306 were manufactured in Hong Kong without any date code on the back.
