This close relative of the TI-1250 followed the "electronic Wizard" introduced in 1975. Main difference is the changed nameplate and the confusing part number:

M4987_5_Label.jpg (44037 Byte)Citation(R) CALCULATOR BY TEXAS INSTRUMENTS  66-4987-5
We noticed that part number already with the TI-1025 based Citation introduced in 1977.

The only difference to the TI-1250 are the wooden foil over the keyplate and the missing TI logo.

With the M4986 a similar calculator without memory but different nameplates was sold.
