It is, however, the most beautiful calculator I have ever seen in terms of visual appeal. It is simply a 32s-50 years LE. I won it a few weeks ago on eBay and turned it out it is almost brand new. It is not brand new because it was sometime taken out of the box, but other than that it is the real thing. I received it yesterday, and as soon as it was out of the box it caught my eyes: the mix of the gold logo with the crisp flat display makes a wonderful combination. I don´t know what technology is used in the display, but for a single line it is way better than my dead 11c, my new 15cLE, my dead 32sii and my brand new Indonesian-32sii.
It is made in the US in 1989, so it is perhaps one of the last few things that were made by american hands, with the quality that that means, or at least that would be expected.
I know there are much more powerful calcs out there or even in my own desk, but I love the feeling of this little beast. I´m in love with it!
On the other hand, the keys have a "strange" look, like the mold they were made in was not so smooth. When looking against light, the shining is not that uniform, *reflecting* in several directions. I compared it with my HP27s made in the US also, and this one also have the same finish, although as it has been extensively used previously (I assume), the keys have smoothed a bit. None of my HP42s or 32sii have the same *rough* finish. Do you have any idea why is this finish present in apparently the US made pioneer series?
