I (mostly) fixed my mechanical calculator! Here it is calculating 12 x 42. The 8th place from the right increments by 5 with each turn so I still need to take it apart and fix that but otherwise it is working well.

I used this calculator to tally up Scrabble scores this weekend and was pretty happy with how it performed. There is a special kind of satisfaction when winding the crank for each sum.
