SR-56_BR_BACK.jpg (559135 Byte)This SR-56 was manufactured in Brazil and seems to be identical with the US-manufactured models. The backside of the calculator sports a bold sticker with the serial number and country of origin and a Date code with "CIB" for 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..

SR-56_BR_PCB.jpg (537508 Byte)Dismantling the SR-56 reveals a well known printed circuit board (PCB), we noticed no differences to the US-built models.

Fellow collectors - if you own a SR-56 please report us the serial number and date code on the back of the calculator for our SR-56 Database.

Don't miss the later TI-30 and Money Manager manufactured in Brazil, too.
