Pocket Calculator

[indago]

I have a well used Casio fx-68 pocket calculator that fell apart and the
buttons fell out of it. I retrieved most of them, and am missing the
decimal button that goes under the 2 on the keyboard. The calculator was
built in the early 1980's, and is a really small and flat pocket scientific
calculator that I used a lot and would like to reassemble and use again.

If somebody knows somebody who has any parts for this calculator, or has an
old one in a drawer someplace, please let me know. I would like to purchase
for parts.

You can get in touch with Casio to find out if it is possible to have
parts. In the past when I used to deal with them I was able to have
parts for most of their products unless the product was discontinued
due to obsolesence.

If Casio cannot supply the parts you need, you can try a Google search
for parts, or look around at the auction sites such as eBay to see if
there may be someone selling a calculator like yours or parts for it.

Let's see.... Somehow, I think a calculator made in the early 1980s
would have been discontinued due to obselescence by now, no?
