This TI-30 manufactured in Italy looks different to the original TI-30. Instead of the usually molded TI-logo and TEXAS INSTRUMENTS nameplate this one uses just a sticker. We know this type of display frame from some other European calculators:
•
TI-45 1st design
•
TI-57
•
Privileg SR-35NC
Even some US-manufactured calculators got the sticker:
• Radio Shack EC-4000
Later during production the sticker was replaced to match the US-design, view a TI-30 manufactured in Italy in 1980 here.
In the meantime we discovered a rare TI-30 with a completely different keyboard technology.
Don't miss the rare
TI-30/super manufactured for
Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth.
