I have a few very old calculators that belong to the 1970s and early 80s.
They were out of use for at least a decade or so for being defunct. I in fact thought of dismantling them and using their electronic components for better jobs. I came across a site that said that such vintage calculators are real treasure an told how to mend them.
Today I mended one of them and I found that it works well enough and need not be dismantled or thrown away and that "now I am a proud owner of a vintage calculator..."

Thank you all in advance.. happy

I love old stuff, ok...vintage lol. I have an old typewriter from the early 30's. It's up in the attic and when I see it there I cannot believe how huge and clumsy it is. I have lots of other vintage items that I've kept over the years. Some dolls from the early 1800's, books from then, and other artifacts. Most of them were in the family, so they have some sentimental value too. I do have things that I kept from the 60's and 70's, one is an old slide rule (which nobody seems to use anymore!) I have a big plastic peace symbol that used to hang in this one hippie neighbors window. I have my transistor radios from back then, as well as some of the unusual shirts and pants worn back then. (Hey...they ARE still good for halloween!!) Funny how old things sometimes fascinate us:-)

shocked!!!
You have things that old up in your attic?? I too have slide rules. But typewriters of 1930's and dolls of 1800's are really rare thing to have. My sister's dolls didn't even stay for even a decade. I decapitated some and others couldn't bear the onslaught of time.
