The
second design of the TI-1500 was soon replaced with this revised
design.
We
notice again two major changes:
| The removable AA-sized
NiCd-batteries were replaced with a solder-type battery. | |
| The
Bowmar Opto-stick was replaced with the
cheaper LED-stick found in the TI-1200. |
The calculator was manufactured at least till spring 1976, we
know the serial number 1500544350 manufactured week 13, 1976 in Lubbock, TX.
