We
wrote the year 1989 when Texas Instruments started the US-built campaign.
Together with the TI-7000 other models like the TI-7100,
TI-7200,
TI-7300 and
TI-7400 were introduced for
Wal*Mart
and other discounters. And all carried the "Made in USA" logo. If
you read the small printed on the back of the calculator you'll notice the
sentence "With foreign and domestic components". If you opened the
calculator before reading, you would pronounce the word "foreign"!
The TI-7000 appeared in a white housing with the "20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION" logo together with a revised TI-7100, TI-7200 and TI-7300.
In the meantime we discovered even a TI-7000 II manufactured in December 1994.
If you feel familiar with the TI-7000 - compare it with the original design introduced in 1988 with a different nameplate: TI-307.
The last US-built calculator was the TI-7140.
Don't miss the TI-8230 printing desktop
calculator manufactured in the U.S.A., too.
