Kind of usurping the thread a bit. I was looking at the manufacturing dates for the SR56, which started in 1977. The reason for purchase was that was my final undergraduate year, and was the first one in which you could use a calculator, so I stumped up for a decent one. I retired it (must have sold it) and bought the eye poppingly expensive HP34C in late 1979. It was about £100 (around £500 in today's money).
