Hi Jeff.About the CASIO FX-502P that was my first calculator (my dad passed it to me when I was 12 beginning high school) and yes, it's fully programmable and it came with a thick nicely printed manual containing listings for hundreds programs you could type in the calculator, then save it to cassette tape via the adapter.I remember it was even a "biorhythm" program that was kinda cool thing in the early 80s (inputting your birth date and current date and having a computer telling you how you'd feel LOL). It was one of the first scientific-engineering programmable pocket calculators in South America; and this one had the extra capability of composing music, using one of the overlays your received and making your own music cassette!.A truly vintage one of a kind.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain these computers in Japan. I am very surprised that there is such a wonderful collection so far away from Japan. My FX-860PVC/PB-100/Z-1 also has LCD problems and can no longer be repaired. I feel a little sad that there is no way to repair these. The back panel of the FX-860PVC states S-7 荷重計算 Load Calculation S-8 体積計算 Volume Calculation S-9 コスト計算 Cost Calculation It may have been used in places like construction sites. I enjoy watching your show every time. Thank you.
Hey Jeff! Careful in handling that equipment! Some of it is Sharp!
Looking forward to seeing that printer work!

It works, "Excellent!" Dig it
The Nagus would be pleased. Though his ears might not be with the tape.😁
