- Unit Log -

Serial Number: 06-400597
Year of Manufacture: 1973 (Integrated circuits stamped with 7309 and 7322)
Date of Receipt: 1990s
Source: Donation.
State upon Receipt: Good physical condition, functional except some segments are slow to ionize.
Current State: Fully functional except for slow segments (12 Jun 2001).


Date: 199x
Procedure: Cleaned.


Date: 1998 May 12
Procedure: Power supply repaired by replacing 12V zener and 180-ohm resistor with 7912 regulator.


Date: 2011 Jan 21
Procedure: Alternative chipset of EA7032 and EA7033 inserted for trial. Keyboard input and arithmetic operations seem to work but the display is faulty. Some segments do not work and the first digit is in the wrong place.
