The minirex 74 manufactured in the GDR (German Democratic Republic) end of the year 1974 looks similar to other calculators based on TI's calculator chips. Compare it e.g. with the famous Bowmar 901B. The minirex 74 seems to be the successor of the minirex 73 and was later replaced with the minirex 75 using the original TMS0105 calculator chip.
