We started working on the RICM's WANG LOCI-2 calculator today. This is a core memory, microcoded, transistor only programmable calculator with some very interesting design features. It does multiply and divide by converting to logarithms adding/subtracting the logarithms, and converting the answer back to decimal. We even have the Teletype interface for it.
It looks like there are some incorrectly performed repairs that we need to fix before we can get started on debugging.
