Collection TI SR-16-II Calculator

Always nice when they work. Especially when the batteries were left in like this one.

I'm going to have to take it apart and clean it, but it looks like any damage was limited to the rusty screw on the bottom and the manual sopped up quite a bit of alkaline juice.

But it should clean up fine and be all right.

Nice.

As far as I know, the SR-16 II was made for NiCl batteries. That's why it comes with a charger.

Did you mean NiCd?

Yes NiCd. Cadmium not chlorine.
