Wanderer Conti Desktop Electronic Printing Calculator with 3 Magnetic Core Memories. This one is badged Victor, sold in the USA. There is no model model number on it but it might be a Victor model 1503. Overall appearance is very good for its age. Plastic case has a few marks but nothing significant. Power cord is included. Chassis is pretty clean, no rust. Toothed drive belt for the printer mechanism is missing. When powered up the Clear button is illuminated and will not go out when depressed. Google Ai tells me that, since the microcode timing discs in the printer mechanism never return to home position, the calculators logic thinks the mechanism is stuck mid-cycle and triggers the overflow/error lock leaving the C key illuminated. No further testing is possible. In 1993, when this unit was acquired, Several different belts were ordered to try to find a suitable replacement. No luck. It?s been wrapped, sitting on a shelf since. Sold as-is for restoration or parts. Ships double boxed. Approximate size 14.5"W, 19.25"D, 8.5"H. Item #10815
