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!!

That looks so similar it's like it has to be using the same chip. Does it give the same numerical results?

Hi yes I believe the numerical results are the same; so like you say it's more than likely the same chip-set.

I have been using almost the same Sharp since 1987! It is an EL512 with 4 extra programmable functions. 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.
