The 100 year old Comptometer can't be that cool can it? Nope, it' even cooler!

I really, really, like this thing. It seems like I'm always saying this, but I didn't expect this thing's capabilities to be so deep. I liked the Burroughs Portable, but the Comptometer is so much better it makes that look like a toy. I really had to cut down the things I wanted to say about the Comptometer for this video to keep it a reasonable length. I could go on and on about it because despite it really only doing one thing, it is shockingly capable. I defintiely think a Comptometer belongs in everyone's vintage calculator or computer collection.
