My first Sinclair

The Sinclair Cambridge pocket calculator. One of the first and one of the best looking calculators EVER. Well, after the Sinclair Executive, anyway.

My wife bought me this for my birthday in 1973. It cost £24.95 or about $37. That was more than a weeks wage!! Within less than a year they were selling for £4.95 or $7.50.

It has a red LED display and takes 4 AA batteries which needed replacing frequently. I still have it - and several others and it still works.
