</div>Getting closer.<br>

The FX-82 is not a single model. It is a family of models with different<br>
capabilities and different look and feel.<br>
<br>
What I am looking for is a gizzmo that looks identical over the last many<br>
decades (except for different "Made In xxx" etc).<br>
<br>
One manufacturer. One model. Looks exactly the same.<br>
<br>
Hint3: If you have one you probably wear a tie.<br>
