cthululemon<p>This little mechanical calculator is one of my favorite objects. It came to me with what turned out to be a fouled 10s pin retaining ring; it was a bear to take apart, ‘machine’ a new part, and reassemble. But it works! And I love it! </p><p><a href="https://social.cthululemon.com/tags/CURTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CURTA</span></a> <a href="https://social.cthululemon.com/tags/calculators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>calculators</span></a> <a href="https://social.cthululemon.com/tags/MechanicalCalculators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MechanicalCalculators</span></a> <a href="https://social.cthululemon.com/tags/ScientificInstruments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScientificInstruments</span></a></p>
cthululemon<p>I'm unreasonably proud of bringing this old calculator back to life. It had a fouled-up tens ring retaining pin that I had *sort* of fixed earlier this year. Now I've actually milled a new one and reassembled it. And it works! It is capable of more maths than I can math!</p><p><a href="https://donkey.social/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> <a href="https://donkey.social/tags/calculators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>calculators</span></a> <a href="https://donkey.social/tags/curta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>curta</span></a> <a href="https://donkey.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>

cthululemon<p>Not to brag but I’ve successfully taken apart my Curta Model II, hand made a new tens bell retaining ring, reassembled the whole thing. Now one of the most beautiful computers ever made lives again! <a href="https://epichairekakia.com/tags/curta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>curta</span></a> <a href="https://epichairekakia.com/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a></p>
