Nicely done but agree with some others, it would be nice to see it in action too.

Great restoration. This is a Model 5 mechanical calculator made by the now-former 'Tvornica Računskih Strojeva' (Computing machines factory) based in Zagreb, Croatia, which was one of the pioneers in computing technology in Europe at the time. This model was produced from 1955 to approx. 1960. Because all of the drawings, factory records, and equipment in storage were dumped after the company went out of business in 1992., nobody knows for sure how many of these machines were built, or even how many different models the factory produced.

It always amazes me how they remeber to put all these parts back together!

I want see how it works after restoration.

My goodness, the people who put these together were brilliant - to my mind. You brought it back to beautiful life - very fine job.

I live in the United States love watching your work 3:30pm

Hey folks, ease up!! MrRescue did his best. It's near impossible to fix if you don't have al the parts. The same goes for a demo. I used one of these when it was high tech, back in 1966, even with the manual and proper instruction it could be a bugger to manipulate. My exposure was while I was a Canadian serviceman, my trade was a land surveyor with the Royal Canadian Artillery. We used it for logarithm based calculations. Thanks for stirring memories from long ago.

Нужно всегда показывать как это работает, после реставрации.

Just marvelous, I have the same calculator, Swedish made and in Green. However I'd never dare to take it apart as it would be far beyond my mediocre mechanical abilities. A beautiful job well done!

It ain't restored unless it works.Come on, show us this baby in action.

Mechanical inventions can be every bit as genius as electronic ones are. And even more elegant and beautiful in their design!

Nice job!! I'm glad I didn't have to learn accounting in the 1950s! 🙌🙌🙌

Great Video

Your attention to detail is inspiring. Very well done, thanks.

I can't imagine the reaction of people who used this type of calculator if they saw what we use now.

Fantastic Restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My parents have a vintage typewriter similar to the Underwood model 5 early 1900’s. It’s exact details I don’t know. I do know it’s been in the family since new. He was a coal salesman. I even have one of his original business cards. It’s in real need of repair. I’d imagine if you just keep it after your done. It just sits in my parents basement in Atlanta. I’ll see about his business card. That I’d like to have back. Lol. You do immaculate work. Look forward to hearing from you. I hope to get pics from my father soon.

Why paint the white numbers after the drum was reassembled? you just filled it with dust!
