Guessing game - non-HP RPN calculator "Made in Germany"

[Joerg Woerner]

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

Privileg SR 54?

[Joerg Woerner]

No, it is NOT from Privileg.

The SR54NC was to my knowledge manufactured Overseas.

Regards,
Joerg

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,

Looks a lot like the Elektronika B3-19M

Because it is the same calculator, just with different markings.
Designed in Kiev, USSR, produced in Thuringen, DDR.

Almost ;-)

Either designed in Kiev, USSR, produced in Mühlhausen, GDR,

or designed in Kiev, CCCP, produced in Mühlhausen, DDR,

or designed in the Ukraine, USSR, produced in Thüringen, GDR,

or one more (trivial) permutation.

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.

[Joerg Woerner]

Not from Privileg...

Later more!

Cheers, Joerg

Is it a German brand ?

[Joerg Woerner]

YES

[Michael de Estrada]

What chipset does it use ?

[Joerg Woerner]

Not Mostek, not National ;-))

Joerg

[Michael de Estrada]

MOS MPS7561 ?

[Joerg Woerner]

Not Commodore - Russian chips ;-))

Robotron brand, perhaps? I've seen that brand name on some DDR home computers, read somewhere they made calculators too.

[Joerg Woerner]

konkret 600 = VEB Roehrenwerk Muehlhausen, Kombinat Mikroelektronik,

Viele Gruesse,
Joerg
