Obviously one should do websearches when they bring such things home.
Because it can be surprising how often one can find a manual online,
be it from the manufacturer or some third party. If the item has some
"collector value", chances are even better of finding information, since
people aren't going to bother fixing that $3.99 LCD calculator, but
might find some value in keeping that 1975 calculator going, or that
1976 LED watch.
Post over at rec.antiques.radio-phono and you will get lots of

I was commenting on some of the problems of older things.
But thirty year old calculators don't belong in rec.antiques.radio+phono.
There's even debate, or was at one time, over early transistor equipment.
But like I said, I suspect the poster is talking about far more
recent things.
