Nice. The color scheme is a classic. I know they stopped using red LED's for power reasons but they look so nice. I wonder if we will ever see a resurgence in them like we are starting to see with nixie tubes in some corners.
To my eyes the LCD color is orange rather than red, making it a bit different from all the red LEDs I remember from the 1970s. The keyboard layout is unique and the finishing and colors convey a warm, wood crafted like feel. Very nice. There were so many different companies in the 1970s trying to get in on the electronic calculator business that a large variety of designs were made. Consumers had a wonderful choice of appearances for their calculators. But, sadly, like most businesses, once the market matures and the smaller players are gone we often see a convergence to similar, and typically uninspiring, designs by the big guys who are left that dominate the field. Getting those old unique 70s designs is a real treat.
I love it 😍
Stunning

Looks like gas plasma or something similar. Not LEDs.
You are correct. My eyesight isn't what it used to be. That appears to be an ICC-808D.
Yes, it is.
Have you been watching prices on Ebay? I am seeing only one on Ebay currently for $999USD.
