Orgtehnika ELKA 135

Brief History
Almost all of the first bulgarian pocket calculators used Rockwell ICs, except the first scientific model, the Elka 135, which contains a General Instrument circuit. Design and construction are almost the same as earlier Elka 101, but the wider LED display module needed new window. The redesigned front became more aesthetic and popular in the western countries too. Interestingly, the exponent enter key has only an E letter on it. One year after this model was replaced by Elka 135m, which uses Rockwell circuit.
