Vintage Technology has an enormous array of 1970’s era calculators on display. I’m into it because I love numbers, but if you want to know how many diodes and capacitors there were in a Caltronic 812, you are in luck. Each comes with a photo and an extraordinarily detailed reference page. There are 128 identified brands, and 583 calculators in total!
As an aside, I used to love calculators with an on/off button. I hated the kind that would turn off in a minute or two when unused. I mean I get it, but I like the power of having an on/off.
You may recognize the Omron from an earlier post. I’m sad Braun wasn’t represented on this page too…
Beautiful post! My father had a unit very similar to the Galfa (3rd down from top).
this is why I read this blog. The design aesthetics of each individual unit is simply incredible; minimalism at it’s best.
I’m loving the Vintage Technology logo too!
Those beautiful blue plus sign buttons are calling my name.

As much as I fawn over Dieter Rams-esque gray and black minimalism, the other part of my brain yearns for brightly color coded industrial design like this.
I spent weeks looking for my own Texas Instruments calculator:

urgh that Adler 60 D is killing me softly
epic.. but the Dieter geek in me has to ask: how the hell could they leave the Braun calculators out?
Yea, the Adler D definitely takes the cake. Landscape calc’s are few & far between…
I remember my dad using the galfa. I woner if he still has it?
Great calculators, love things like this
urgh that Adler 60 D is killing me softly
Olivetti design was not bad too!…
