Compet Neon Plasma Display Calc With A Special Surprise Inside!
Added 2021-08-31 13:14:46 +0000 UTCOh, the unavoidable joys of asbestos... the gift of the 20th century that just keeps on giving! It cut this teardown short - sorry I'm not going to go any deeper into this calculator cause there's just too much loose asbestos inside it. Maybe I'll hunt for another one. But hey... Enjoy!

Metalbestos made chimney pipes made of an inner and outer metal lining with asbestos between the metal layers. The asbestos layer was to provided thermal insulation between the two metal inner and outer tubes. Therefore most of the heat was conducted out the top of the chimney pipes to the atmosphere via the flue gasses and not to flammable building materials. My house built in 1959 uses these flue pipes
