Andor - Pre-Mor Employee Comm Identified

[the.rebel.agent]

Here we have a Texas Instruments TI-2500 playing the role of a communicator in the hands of that Corp operator. Not the only one so far. I spotted another one in the same scene. This is is very hard to score from my country, as well USA. Seems like a little bit rare. Amused my like the employee was spending his time reading "facebook" until Deputy Inspector interrupted them.

NICE FIND!!! I was just posting about another calculator in the same scene (LINK) but I totally overlooked this.
The TI-2510 would also work. There are a few models with very similar layouts, that as far as I can tell only vary by model name/number.

P.S. this calculator is also in Alien: Isolation

I spotted the TI-1200 too. I do have a lot of Exacta 20 from past projects and those pop up immediately on my head ASAP I saw the scene.

I do have a hunch. They used the same slider greeble for this stuff. And they used it for both calculators. What do you think?

That looks like a magnet catch for cupboard doors, even has 2 holes, let me see if I can find an image. But I think that would be too big

Good eye.
Any idea what are?

 

[the.rebel.agent]

Not yet. Seems like an Eveready lantern switch to me. The old ones.

 

[the.rebel.agent]

I think It is some kind of slide switch like this one. Or they tried to resemble it.

 

[the.rebel.agent]

False alarm. I did play a little bit with the light and this pop up. They are not buttons

 

[thawn_es]

maybe some kind of cable clip...

Mine arrived yesterday, the battery cell is dead, I hope maybe to get a replacement cell or find a hack.

Edit: After joining a few online retro calculator sites I was able to make my own Ni Cad rechargeable battery pack and it now works!
Along with my other LED Calcs I'm building up quite the Bubble strip collection..

Tending to buy anything which has that mid century/Andor colour scheme atm..
