Concept-I_CMP.jpg (75879 Byte)You have to view two times to catch the differences between this rare CONCEPT I and the TI-1200 calculator. The only differences between the calculator is the colouring scheme of the faceplate.

Concept-I_PCB.jpg (33461 Byte)Dismantling the CONCEPT I reveals no surprise - the printed circuit board (PCB) of the calculator is 100% identical with the common TI-1200.

The Concept line covered three different models: This Concept I based on the TI-1200, the Concept II based on the TI-1250 and the Concept III as a sibbling of the SR-16 II.
