Well, the smaller one has some bottles of ink:



The larger one has a set of pens and pencils. There's a fountain pen, a ballpoint pen and a pencil. All from Beaufort Ink.

Under the pen stand there is storage for the bits and bobs that go with pens and pencils.


The bits and bobs are housed in machined aluminium tubes with caps made from the same acrylic that the pens are made from.

Commodore S61,N60 and M55 Connections

After opening up many old calculators and finding battery leakage has eaten wires and tracks, I thought I'd put up photos of a Commodore S61 (the same internals as the N60 and M55) calculator. Hopefully if anyone needs battery connection positions, this will help.

I've also added some more shots of the PCB just for the record.

This photo shows where the battery connects:


This is the entire PCB. The white taped thing on the right is my battery pack.


Here's the front of each of the three machines in the series:
