  You have to admire the ingenuity of the people who designed this. And you for being brave enough to take it apart.

  My dad had one like this.  We used to love to play on it.  And then when Casio released an electronic calculator we thought that was a miracle.

  Fantastic job partner...most of the restorers that focus on old calculators don't normally break the machine all the way down like you did...thank you for doing that. Excellent restoration.

  Unsung geniuses designing the product and the craftsmen creating the dies to the assemblers. Way smarter than me.

  Wow, beautiful work.  It amazes me how you remember the intricacies.  Even with the video I'd be lost.

  I am reasonably sure I could easily take that machine apart. Problem comes when trying to reassembly again. But only if you wanted it to ever work again. I can't even begin to imagine the engineering it took to design it and than make it actually work properly. You did a magnificent job refurbishing it and reassembling it and have to look great and work... You certainly earned a big Thumbs Up!
