Hi
I have a pocket calculator that I would love to replace
with a newer one ( because this one is dying ). It is a mix
of solar/battery or one can use it in low light as well.
I've replaced the battery twice since I've owned it.
It doe very convenient Dec/Hex/Binary/Octal conversions
as well. It doesn't seem that these types are being made
anymore. It is a radio shack model EC-4024 which I assume
is a relabeled Sharp EL-4024. I've been watching and
there just isn't anything like this in the stores.
