The Small Gizmo-&-Gadget Scores thread

I've had these Palm devices since August, but I've only just got a cable to charge them.
I bought them at a boot fair along with two Windows based PDAs (Both with obvious problems though ) for £2 the lot.

From left to right: Tungsten T, m515 and Tungsten T.

All of them charge, but they're not holding a charge for long. I guess either the battery's near dead or it's just that it's been a long time since they were last used.
The Tungsten Ts are powered by a Texas Instruments OMAP (ARM) 144 MHz processor. Does that mean I'm in the TI club?

EDIT: I've finally got them all on at once!

It truly is amazing, isn't it?

I think it's truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous.

Found this thing at Goodwill for only 2 bucks:

[img width=700 height=933]http://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz294/Jeremy_Bosco/KIMG0086.jpg[/img]

It's unopened, and almost looks like it was still hanging on a hook at Walmart yesterday.

Hey now,

I'll admit its memory capacity beats the hell outta the sealed Texas instruments PS-3600+ DataBank/Scheduler I picked up from the Mountain View Goodwill for $3.99...

[img width=700 height=446]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/gizscore11-20-2014_zpsda22d8bf.jpg[/img]

...but, seeing as how my pickup is a TI product, I'm automatically the winner of this little pissing contest. And don't try to argue otherwise, 'cuz you're just plain wrong. Salvage what small scrap of dignity you have left by accepting your pwnage and getting on with your day. Thank you.

Oh, and flanking the PS-3600+ to the left is the Radio Shack EC-4014 solar scientific calculator, which set me back $2.49. To the right is yet another TI-83 graphing calc, sporting an asking price of $3.99.

I'll admit its memory capacity beats the stuffing outta the sealed Texas instruments PS-3600+ DataBank/Scheduler I picked up...

Ha! Nice.

Uh-oh... looks like those burglars stole all the stuff I was gonna send you for Xmas.

Pity...

Picked up a Yamaha RCX RX-1130 remote control transmitter, and a TI-85.

[mumboking]

Oh hey,

[img width=700 height=393]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/DSC_0329.jpg[/img]
Casio fx-7400G (Not working. Not mine) and a TI-80 (Have to hold it at an angle to read the screen. Is this normal?).
[img width=700 height=393]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/DSC_0330.jpg[/img]
Psion Revo (As far as I can tell, it's only missing the CD).

EDIT: Turns out the Casio does work!

[Zagnorch]

Not sure about the TI-80, since I've never actually seen one "in person." However, you should be able to adjust the contrast of the screen by pressing the yellow [2nd] button, and then either the up arrow to darken the screen, or the down arrow to lighten the screen.

I have yet to encounter a Casio graphing calculator. I did find a Sharp one some time back, but it ended up not working and I exchanged it for something else.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

^ What Norch said about the TI-80 - contrast is controlled by pressing the 2nd function key and then Up/Down. If that doesn't help, the batteries are dying or the connection isn't pulling enough power.

[Zagnorch]

Hey now,

More calculator finds for your number-crunching amusement:


[img width=519 height=582]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/TIscore12-18-2014_zpsed23eff5.jpg[/img]

That there's an almost-CIB TI-82, courtesy of Bombatomba. Below that are three generations of the HP 10-series financial calculators. From left to right: The 10B, 10Bii, and 10Bii-plus.


Today after work I discovered the steal of the day:

A Titanium edition TI-89 and a Casio fx-9750Gii together for just $2.99? These guys didn't know what they had here... but I knew. Oh, the fools... the poor, poor fools.


[img width=700 height=449]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/gizmo1-3-2015_zps98dd7edf.jpg[/img]

Aaaand here they are all freed up and flanking a CI Qualifier Plus IIIx.

[Zagnorch]

Hey now!

On the left: a ClassMate Reader audio book player. On the right: HP 41C financial calculator with removable memory modules.

And you thought only sixth-gen home consoles sported memory cards...


Now I just need to clean up the contacts and grab four "N" batteries so I can see if it actually works.

[Zagnorch]

Hey now once again. Been picking up a few more of the usual suspects along with a few surprises:

A calculator-shaped bar of soap? Sure, why not:

Aaaand finally, a VERY retro gadget:

Coming soon: pics of this really cool abacus I found the other day. Until then...

[Cryptid Collector]

I have an old PDA(like, black and green digital-watch quality screen old) that's still complete in the box around here somewhere I snagged from Goodwill.

Also, I'm reading all Zag's posts in the voice Weird Al used for Cheese Sandwhich on MLP now.

Found this thing for $5(seems to be all there, even the software for it) so I grabbed it to mess around with.
