I've got one that I love (and have had 20 years),
but would like a second
one to replace my EL-506 which is flaking worse and worse.
Is it keypad problems?
My trusty EL-525 gets into a mood every few years requiring me to take
it apart and clean the key contacts ... I've always been able to bring it
back to full health.
Another odd problem with the Sharps is the LCD display goes faint ... and
a sharp tap on the back of the machine bring it back - The two that I have
both suffer from it, and I've seen it on several others. Probably a design
issue with the mechanical mounting of the LCD.
