It's great, I'm not gonna lie. But I have a 13-inch laptop and a smartphone. I wouldn't find a use case for this.

Pretty cool. Hey Ivan, if you wouldn't mind… could you computer the maximum of 2 and 0 with your calculator?

I'm not Ivan but with 2 and 0 on the X and Y registers the max function says 0.

>There is currently only 1 known bug in the MK-52: that the MAX function gives a result of zero if one of the two arguments of the function is zero.
Also this is based, I wish people did this today.
>Schematics:
>In what would be considered an unusual practice today (but was common for Soviet electronics), technical schematics were provided for the MK-52 when it was purchased, facilitating user modification and repair of the machine.

I have the manuals and schematic too. The only problem with mine is the EEPROM doesn't work.

Have you looked into sourcing a replacement part? If that EEPROM is too obscure, you might have some luck salvaging one from some other broken model. It seems to have been a pretty popular calculator, so perhaps it's not too hard to find.
