Victor 1900-1421

Details:

The Victor 1900 calculator is a full function floating point machine with one semiconductor memory register and a constant mechanism which can be used in al calculation functions.  It is equipped  with a 12 digit plasma display in a sandwich construction, some IC’s and furthermore some hybrid and some discrete components to drive the display.

The keyboard uses conductive rubber sheets on a PCB. The keys press the rubber sheets against the PCB’s  circuits. Although it’s probably not as sustainable as reed relays which were often used those days, it still feels like a high quality construction and works flawlessly after so many years.


Usage:

Addition/subtraction:

Use the “+” and “-” key to add/subtract in the display.   The “M+” and “M-” key operate in memory.


Multiplication:

Works in algebraic mode using the “X” and “=” key.   Allows addition/subtraction in memory by using the “=+” and “=-” keys.


Division:           

Works similar to multiplication.
