Give that sorry place called Maximum Ades a call. I don't have the number
but I know they're in Michigan. As far as the sharp el64, as worn down as
mine is--since I bought it in 85/86 (something like that) it's definitely a
classic tool. I'll hold on to it until it either gets stolen, or it
completely mal functions. I suspect that some of the blind schools might
still carry those units. Keep in mind also that "radio crap" used to cell
these things. Perhaps a few stores might still have them. I know that our
blind school here in Ontario went nuts when those calculators were plentiful
and they purchased a bunch. Even buying the slightly newer versions that
came out in the early nineties with the added earphone piece. I'd like to
get a brand new one that at least hasn't been worn out by excessive use but
oh well! At least I still have one.

Subject: off topic, talking calculators


HI folks,
ONe of the things I lost in the hurricane that I really miss
is my Sharp talking calculator clock.  Anybody got a
suggestion for currently available talking calculators?
Clock function or anything else is irrelevant, but another
talking calculator would sure be handy, especially when
doing my figures at the end of each month for ARRL.  I'm
fairly good at math in my head, but there are those times
when that little box is sure missed.
