You are familiar with this Bohsei 3000 calculator?
You
are right, this calculator - and its siblings named Academy, academy memory, Alltronic HK 9805,
Bowmar, Cetina ET, Comico 1000, GPM 15,
Gracia, Harvard Student H-303, Janon 3000,
King Sonic 3000, MBO 3000, Nikjan,
Nobility 3000, Noris 3000, Planar Memory,
Realtronic, Seneca 1000, and Tronica 3000 - are a nearly perfect copy of the TI-1250.
And please notice that not all of them share identical electronics - take a
closer look for example at the Unitrex 1000.
Within the Datamath Calculator Museum we refer to this calculator as Far East Generic
Design I, probably the cheapest calculator of the 1970s. Don't miss the Design
II and Design III.
