Guessing game - non-HP RPN calculator "Made in Germany" - Joerg Woerner - 09-07-2011
Collectors,
I received today a box from Gemany with some interesting calculators sold in Germany. One of them might interest you:
1) It uses RPN
2) It is Scientific
3) It has a wonderful RED LED display
4) It was made in Germany
Who is the first one to identify this cutie?
Cheers,
Joerg

Is it one of the two RPN Privileg models? Those things are sleek and solid. They have the worlds best battery doors too.
If not; we have to talk. I have a first-born child to trade you for that calc.

No, it is NOT from Privileg.
The SR54NC was to my knowledge manufactured Overseas.
Regards,
Joerg

YES

What chipset does it use ?
Re: Guessing game - non-HP RPN calculator "Made in Germany" - Joerg Woerner - 09-07-2011

Does East Germany count?
How about the Konkret 600 manufactured in Thüringen.

Sure - the label reads:
Made in GDR, abbreviation for German Democratic Republic!
Bingo,

Robotron brand, perhaps? I've seen that brand name on some DDR home computers, read somewhere they made calculators too.
Re: Guessing game - non-HP RPN calculator "Made in Germany" - Joerg Woerner - 09-07-2011
konkret 600 = VEB Roehrenwerk Muehlhausen, Kombinat Mikroelektronik,
Viele Gruesse,
