If we're going to talk about really retro tech like pencils, why hasn't
anyone come out with a reproduction Curta calculator? You can buy plans
to build your own with 3d printed parts, but nothing really substantial.
I can imaging that they would sell even if the relatively price is high
and available in small batches and the patent must have run out on them
years ago. People are paying $2000+ for them on ebay so I don't see how
they wouldn't be profitable.
For those who don't know what this is:
