A new calculator

A new calculator has joined the collection this week, this rather lovely Decimo Vatman. This Japanese made machine was released in about 1974 not long after Value Added Tax was introduced into Britain. This calculator was named and released with it's VAT key (aka the percentage key) to take advantage of the ruckus caused by the change in the tax system. 

Unfortunately, the calculator no longer seems in working order.
