Production
of the BA-35 Student Business Analyst shifted in
1985 from Taiwan to both the US and Italy. The featured BA-35 Student Business
Analyst was manufactured in August 1988 in Italy, just a few month before the
redesigned BA-35 Business Analyst was introduced.

The
picture on the right gives you an idea about the internal construction of the
calculator. The flexible printed circuit board (PCB) forms one half of the keys,
holds the calculator chip and connects to the LCD. Even the two coin batteries
are connected directly with two small PCB parts. Find a similar construction
with the TI-52. The BA-35 was manufactured
both in Italy and the USA, we noticed no differences between them.
The
TP0456/CD4571 calculator circuit is encapsulated in a traditional
Dual-Inline Plastic package and soldered with bent pins on the PCB.
