This
Money Manager manufactured in Brazil looks
different from the US version! You'll notice immediately the brown housing from
the "The MBA" instead the black housing from the
TI-30.
The
backside of the calculator states in proud letters "Made in Brasil"
and the manufacturer is given with Texas Instrumentos Eletrônicos do Brasil Ltda. -
Campinas. Later Texas Instruments calculators sold in Brazil like the SR-40
LCD were assembled by Indústrias
Gerais da Amazonia S.A..
Dismantling
the Money Manager reveals a well known internal construction but the single-chip
calculator circuits sports a very uncommon designation JP0982. It is probably
identical with the TMC0982 found in the US built Money Manager.
