CURTA Type I Calculator #69389 w/ Case - Fully functional, great shape! Who doesn't love a five-digit prime serial number? Some minor scuffs here and there as pictured, and someone etched "3" into the case and base. In my time with it it has always been on a display shelf in my living room, away from direct sunlight and often inside its case too. I've never opened it up, lubricated it or anything; it's always worked nicely so I left well enough alone.
...olor:rgb(35, 31, 32); font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; orphans:2; text-align:left; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; white-space:normal; word-spacing:0px; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-style:initial; text-decoration-color:initial;">I've run maybe a few dozen calculations through it, often trying to involve as much of the mechanism as possible, and it has always been accurate. The counter also works reliably, "like clockwork" even! All movable parts move well and function correctly from the crank to the decimal placeholders. This is the only one of these I've ever handled but as an engineer and amateur fabricator it's very impressive to me how smooth and effortlessly it cranks with so many simultaneously meshing parts! Let me know if there's anything you'd specifically like to know or see.
