Model: EC-314 Kosmos 2
Battery: 2 x AA
Adapter:
Year: 1979
Chip: TMC1172NL
Info: Same version of the kosmos 2, but with the radio brand shack, Kosmos International, Inc. based in Atlanta, Georgia introduced with the Kosmos 1 already in the year 1977 a pocket-sized biorhythm calculator.On a first glance you notice the original calculator keypad and the three „sine-waves“ representing our:
• Physical Cycle (P) • Emotional Cycle (S) • Intellectual Cycle (I) |
This Kosmos 2 was introduced in 1979 as the successor of the original design and obviously was the result of some cost reduction programs:
• The 6 red and amber LED's at the end of the three "sine-waves" were omitted • The housing feels much cheaper • Manufacturing was moved from Japan to Taiwan |
