Fellow
calculator collector Marie Lisa Collas surprised us in December 2015 with this
unusual looking SR-50 manufactured for
Dismac Industrial S.A. in Brazil. Texas Instruments changed the appearance of
the original dramatically by simply switching the silver colored aluminum bezel
from the display frame to the keyboard.
The discovery of this unique calculator could even solve the
mystery of our Frankenstein SR-50 discovered already in 2011 by Marie Lisa
Collas.
Disassembling
this SR-50 manufactured in December 1974 by Texas Instruments in Almelo, The
Netherlands reveals the original printed circuit boards (PCB's) centered around
the TMC0501 building blocks with the Arithmetic chip and the SCOM (scanning read
only memory) surrounded by some discrete logic and the display drivers.
