Notes...
Not my favourite. This was just about the first Soviet calculator I ever saw, sent to me by Igor. This was NOT the machine that started me collecting - I disliked it so much that for the longest time it was available for trade/sale.

Elektronika B3-14M
Digit position used for decimal point
This one has a real cheap-and-nasty feel. The keys are very unreliable, and it is difficult sometimes to get them to work. The display is very inconsistant in brightness from segment to segment.
The maximum range of this calculator is +/- 99999999.
The example calculations embossed on the back of the calculator, to show how to operate it, are carefully chosen to avoid problems of operator precedence. This calculator returns (1 + 2) * 3 = 9, whereas a proper arithmetic precedence should return 1 + (2 * 3) = 7.
4 x AA batteries are used to power it (the battery compartment occupies approximately half of the back of the calculator), and there is also an external power socket at the top of the unit (next to the power switch).
