casio melody 80

Published on Dec 30, 2013 Sealion·24 videos

"A 2013 Christmas present from 1979. When new this little calculator caused quite a stir with its audio generating button pad and musical alarms. Silly now, but as your will see elsewhere on Youtube, its part of the sound of the early Tetris generation just before the Atari and Nintendo took over.

Leave in Calc Mode to turn off the irritating hourly beeps. Push AC then Time or AC then Date to program and follow each with a pen push of the set button. Clean the battery compartment with a Q-tip for better contacts. No power save or sleep. Dollar store batteries 4 for $2."
