I'd always loved my Sharp calc but it's been showing it's age recently; so when I saw this almost identical el-crapo for £5 in Tesco the other week, I just had to get it!! you can just smell the cheap plastic!! I love it!! |

It's beautiful with very very soft keys, something I did not have with my previous Texas Instruments brand calculators, they were horrible in this respect. I lost the 1st Sharp EL-512 in 1987 a few months after I bought it, then I bought a new identical one, a heavy burden on my student's budget then. Yesterday I have opened and cleaned the contacts under the keys, it is now as good as before. |
