The
European market received the TI-1260, the US market the Spirit of
'76. This
wonderful calculator was designed to commemorate the 200th birthday of the United
States of America. Don't miss the LADY 1200 using
the same housing parts.
Under the cute housing you'll find a basic TI-1200
calculator, nevertheless most collectors will pay much more for the Spirit of
'76.
