The TI-5032 was the first battery operated printing desktop calculators introduced by Texas Instruments.
The design fits neatly to the other desktop calculators of the time:
• TI-5008 Pocket-sized, thermal printing • TI-5010 Small-sized, standard paper • TI-5032 Desktop-sized, battery option • TI-5130 10-digits, standard paper • TI-5142-III 12-digits, standard paper • TI-5020 Non-printing, solar powered |
The housing and internal construction of the original TI-5032 was used with a complete line of very similar calculators:
