Sanyo CX-8006R. Early example of
hybrid product for consumer and professional use. A basic 8 digit calculator is coupled with
a standard Compact Cassette audio recorder (the only link is the power
supply and the case). The unit is professionally built and easy to carry
with handle. It works with mains or battery. Feature constant switch, tape counter, pause, battery level
and integrated condenser microphone. Internal chip date-code is 1973 Weight/dimensions:

Tiger, DC-8SA. This calculator is
very nice and also very interesting. It use a metal/glass old flat
fluorescent tube (8 digits) with vertical catode filaments. A second
fluorescent small tube
show the negative and overflow sign. It also sports a capacitive keyboad.
This calculator is built in Japan by unknow OEM manufacturer. Tiger was
one of the famous Japan mechanical calculator factory but closed before the
'70.
Weight/dimensions: 270 gm (9 x 15.5 x 4.5 cm)
Circuits: HD3276P, HD3253P, 3x TM4352P, BA602, T3086, 4 transistors
(chip date code is first half 1973)
Power supply: 5x AA, ext plug (- centre)
