The
€-2005 calculator combines the usual printing desktop calculator functions with an Euro
currency conversion and a convenient tax functionality. All of the 11 yet defined exchange rates are preprogrammed
in the calculator, 4 additional ones could be added later. The home country is
selected with the Select-key. Two additional keys allow the conversion in both
directions.
Dismantling
the €-2005 reveals a clean and simple construction based on the Toshiba
TC-83230 single-chip printing calculator circuit. It is connected directly with
the printer-mechanism, the LC-Display and the keyboard contacts.
The
featured calculator was manufactured in China for the European market and is
powered with 220 volts. The Date code suggests
that Leo Electronics Co., Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer
of electronic equipment, assembled the €-2005 in its Shenzhen,
China
facility.
Texas Instruments introduced with the €-2004, €-2006
and
€-5032 three printing siblings in the EURO-line.
Non-printing desktop calculators with Euro conversion capability were introduced with the €-1796, €-2002+ and €-2003.

In 2006 Texas Instruments surprised customers in Europe with a
complete new family of Euro Calculators labeled EC-3,
EC-5 and EC-7 Pro.
